I have never taken a gun out in a social atmosphere to show it to someone who asked to see it. I think that doing so is just asking for trouble on several levels. If it came up that you were outed some how, perhaps by a friend who had too much to drink. The best way to handle it is to make a date with the person at some future time to take them shooting. Usually that will deflect the situation and the person will only call you if they had a real interest, but as far as handling a gun at a social event that is a big mistake that can only end badly.
You should never hand a gun over to anyone when you are out in public, unless you are in a gunfight and need to arm them, which will hopefully never happen.
Anything can happen anyware, just remember that an you will be fine.
This morning a 60 year old gentleman was awoken or disturbed by 2 young ladies who pulled up to his home in a stolen car, banged on his door several times and assuming no one was home they broke the glass beside the door knob and walked in to rob the place, they were met by a slug in the chest by the senior who I believe from the news report I heard, killed them both.
