What is a Forensic Firearms Examiner? |
[Edit] |
Answer 1
Not being an expert in the language of the courts, this answer will be from a layman's standpoint, and therefore subject to improvement by those better qualified.
Basically, the term "forensic" means "of or pertaining to the court."
This term, when used in front of the name of one dicipline or another, indicates that the individual with that title is a specialist in the named field, and due to education, training, and experience, can be considered to be in that upper echelon of the field such that the court(s) deem him/her to be an "expert" under the rules of the court, and therefore qualified to testify as to his/her "opinion" regarding the meaning of evidence.
Therefore, a Forensic Firearms Examiner would be one who, based on his/her education, training, and experience in the examination and analysis of firearms, is qualified to testify in a court of law regarding his/her opinion as to a variety of points relating to firearms.j3h.
