Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

Of course. Putting others in reasonable fear for their safety could be classified as assault, brandishing or some other crime depending on the state.
A gun in a holster cannot put others in reasonable fear for their safety unless it is combined with some other act on the part of the carrier (like saying "I'm going to kill you" while reaching for it.) However, waving a gun around or pointing it at someone is not lawful open carry. It is stupid, reckless and possibly criminal.
It should not be a major issue. Make sure you are honest about the incident when applying. Any attempt to conceal or minimize the incident will indicate a lack of honesty. Questions about honesty will absolutely destroy your shot at being hired.
