Ginger,
In this part of the world, giving a teenager a rifle is fairly common
I understand that. I also think this contributes to a lot of preventable injuries. And I'll stop that line of discussion because I'm not interested in offending.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Is there a local gun range or gun club that provides on site firearm lockup? This way you can secure the gun offsite, it can be available for shooting at the shooting range, and not be in your house. It also allows you to be back in control of firearms being in your house on your terms, without completely confiscating the weapon.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
ND has a very good suggestion. In your place, I'd follow up on that. It is a way of exerting control without a showdown with the bf (Okay, I backspaced over the nomenclature three times before typing those two letters. Admire my restraint).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This really feels like a specific move to fuck with you and assert more control over your family. It's really disturbing.
Oh, hell yes, this. He won't stop at this, either. I like ND's suggestion.

Generally speaking, if the only guns out there were bolt-action rifles, which are the modern equivalent of the rifles used in early America for hunting and the sort of gun the founders had in mind, we'd all be a lot safer.
The good thing about a gun club and lessons is that Cory gets to use the gun, but under reliable adult supervision.

I'm with the gun club, and also that giving the gun without asking is the act of a douchenozzel.
