It depends on what you mean. Gun safety class for what purpose? Illinois does not issue a gun carry permit so there is no safety class for that. If you mean for a different purpose, it depends on what the purpose it.
If the witness is testifying that HE heard the gunshots - it is called "direct evidence.' It is also a type called "testimonial" evidence as opposed to "demonstative" evidence. The testimonial evidence is that the witness testifies verbally that he heard the gun. The gun itself if entered into evidence would be demonstrative evidence.
Nope
Class evidence is common to a group of objects or persons, while individual evidence can be linked to a unique source. Class evidence can help narrow down a pool of suspects, while individual evidence can provide a stronger link to a specific person or object. Class evidence is less specific and can be shared among multiple sources, while individual evidence is more specific and can help to identify a singular source.
Yes
Depends on what the misdemeanor was.
Fibers are CLASS evidence. They cannot be individualized to a single person or thing, although there are many types of natural and synthetic fibers.
Class evidence is the category for most evidence. Class evidence is evidence associated with a group and not a single source. Example: general piece of something (like a paint chip) blood (we can only generalize) Individual evidence is evidence that can be virtually, unambiguously traced to a source. Example: finger prints DNA tool marks (under a microscope) anything torn or broken (must be very specific)
