Also, no posting about this situation on any social media what so ever! Remember, anything you say or do can (WILL) be used against you...
Good luck! We hope that it works out in your (our) favor! I say our because we as gun owners are a family, albeit disfuntional at times, but a family camaraderie none-the-less...

If it got a dispatch call, that is enough to get a disturbing the peace ticket, in many cases.
If you were walking around your apartment complex, showing other tenants your gun, show n tell, I could see how no good could come of that.
I would erase your posts, get a good gun lawyer, and remember this a lesson learned.

No. Not even close.

That rather depends on if they asked to see it in the first place. If, on the other hand, a number of people see you walking past them with a gun in your hand, that is going to be more problematic.

I would agree with the lawyer part. Erasing the posts? Not really necessary yet, but I certainly wouldn't say any more about this until the court case is over. Don't give more details, don't talk about what happened any more---and get yourself a lawyer.
As for "lesson learned" -- I'd suggest that the next time you take a gun to show someone, leave it in its case until you reach the person.

I think Susie was concerned that doing so would be "carrying a concealed handgun" and did not want to break the law by doing so. Open carry is our only recourse when a valid CHP is not in one's possession

Having an unloaded firearm in a case when going from one place where it is legal to another where it is legal is not carrying a concealed weapon---because if it is, everyone walking into a gun shop without a CCW permit would be in violation of the law.
Or into any gun range, public or private. Or taking it to a gun show. Or giving it to someone as a present. Or taking it from Cabelas where you bought it. Or selling it to someone else, where they walk off with it.
Transporting a cased, unloaded firearm from one place where you may legally have it to another place where you may legally have it, is legal.
