My boyfriend had his two friends (all of us are in our early 20’s) come over today and one of them had recently bought a new gun so both of them brought theirs over to show us. We all got drunk as soon as they arrived. Now, everyone is aware I DO NOT like guns. I was fine with them being here since they weren’t loaded (at first) but these guys were constantly pulling the triggers on their unloaded guns in my house and it made me very uncomfortable. I slid into the conversation how I think gun safety and etiquette is important but I was quickly dismissed with “they aren’t loaded so it doesn’t matter”. My boyfriend then went to the bathroom and one of his friends loaded his gun. My boyfriend then came out and they then handed my boyfriend the unloaded gun and said “What, are you afraid to pull the trigger? I haven’t seen you do it once” I immediately said not to and that he should never pull the trigger on a gun unless he was planning on shooting something. He then pulled the trigger after some more of his friends urging him to do so and then I got upset. I didn’t say much but I was clearly upset and it was awkward. I explained how I didn’t like being ignored about something like this and that it was unsafe especially since we were all drunk. He said “I’m sorry” and his friends said “look he said he’s sorry...” as if to pressure me into getting over it. This is MY HOUSE not my boyfriends.
One of the friends then proceeded to take a picture of me looking annoyed and posted it to a group Snapchat with a caption about how I’m ruining their fun. Some other people in the group called me a “snowflake” along with some other things. The two friends then left without me or my boyfriend noticing. I then had a conversation with my boyfriend and we’re essentially on the same page now. He was drunk and gave into peer pressure, but now I really do not want those two to come back into my house. These are my boyfriends closest friends but I think they were being really disrespectful by putting us all in danger. I have no idea what to do about this or if it’s fair to expect my boyfriend to stop being friends with them or if I should just forgive them or what.
TLDR; BF’s friends were pulling the trigger on their guns in my house and peer pressured my boyfriend into doing the same. They didn’t like me expecting proper gun safety and made fun of me to others for “ruining their hang”. I don’t know how to proceed.
