Also keep in mind that her laughing at the finger-gun incident might be her way of dealing with an unknown and uncomfortable situation. While this area is within your experience, it is likely outside of hers. She may have been trying to defuse the situation for herself. I agree that she could have/should have handled it better with your feelings in mind. I think that after some time has past, it might be constructive for you to revisit the situation with her, explain how her responses seemed callous or wrong to you, that they hurt you or made the situation worse. If she sees it from your perspective, she might change her responses in the future.
Best of luck and please stay safe whatever you have to do.
