JASON DAVIS

Litigation Team / Regulations Specialist

Jason Davis has over 32 years of experience in the California firearms industry. Davis spent the early part of his career as a representative for several of the nation’s leading firearm manufacturers, gaining more than 13 years of practical business and manufacturing experience in the firearms industry before entering the field of law. 

This experience served Jason quite well during his tenure as the manager of the firearms division at a California law firm and counseled sporting goods retailers, firearm manufacturers, dealers, collectors, and trade associations in California’s firearms, air guns, and other weapons-related regulatory compliance matters, including litigation.  From setting up firearms dealers and manufacturers with appropriate licenses and permits to challenging the laws that regulate the industry, Mr. Davis is a leading figure in the California firearms industry.

Mr. Davis, along with Donald Kilmer submitted an Amicus Brief to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of appellants from the Ninth Circuit Incorporation Case of Nordyke v. King– in support of the reversal in McDonald v. Chicago, which determined that the Second Amendment protects individuals from state and local restrictions on the right to bear arms.

Also, in 2009, the California Law Revision Commission issued its Final Report to the California Legislature, which directed them to “study, report on, and prepare recommended legislation by July 1, 2009, concerning the revision of the portions of the Penal Code relating to the control of deadly weapons ….”  In that Final Report, the Commission recognized Mr. Davis for his role, stating that “the Commission is especially grateful to Jason Davis . . . , who faithfully attended the Commission’s meetings to represent the views of gun owners. . . .”

Mr. Davis, along with David Kopel, C. D. Michel, and Erin Eckelman-Ray submitted an Amicus Brief to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of a majority of California District Attorneys and other law enforcement associations in Heller v. District of Columbia, the historical case determining that the Second Amendment provides an individual right to bear arms.
