Someone who has both academic and practical experience with firearms. Some would say you can't be an expert unless you earn a living doing it. I disagree.

IMPROVING ANSWER: The answer above is the federal definition of a firearm for the purposes of some Federal Laws, such as those regulating the purchase of guns from gun dealers or transferring guns across state lines. For other federal laws, and for many state laws, there will be other definitions of "firearm" that may include antique guns or black-powder muzzle-loading guns. For example, Georgia's law that makes it unlawful for convicted felons to possess firearms will also include black powder guns, antiques, and other collector's items as "firearms."
