In a real court, the evidence is not marked until after it is introduced. In Mock Trial we mark it before the trial.
Show Jeff the gun and ask him if he can identify it -- and, if so, how. (This is called "laying a foundation" and it must always be done before physical objects can be entered into evidence.)
Once the witness has clearly identified the object (in this case the gun), the attorney asks the judge to have it accepted as an exhibit. If no objection is made, or if the judge overrules the objection, the gun is admitted into evidence.
