About Jason
Biography
Jason Davis began working in the California firearms industry as a teen when he worked at his father’s handgun manufacturing business, Davis Industries, Inc. With four of his family’s businesses consistently listed in the top ten handgun manufacturers in the United States, Mr. Davis gained a unique perspective and understanding of firearms, firearms businesses, and the industry as a whole. As frivolous laws and lawsuits gained momentum and burdened many in the industry out of business in the 1990‘s, Mr. Davis made it his mission to defend the rights firearm owners and businesses.
With nearly three decades of experience in the firearms industry, Jason Davis and The Davis Law Firm have developed the relationships and an understanding of the firearms and dangerous weapons laws necessary to succeed in this highly political environment. Our attorneys have fought hard to defend your right to bear arms, challenging federal, state, and local laws and regulations in both the court houses and regulatory proceedings.
Jason Davis has experience representing associations such as the National Rifle Association, CalGuns Foundation, and the California Rifle & Pistol Association in Civil Rights litigation and policy issues. We have also represented various law enforcement agencies and officers, industry trade associations, gun shows, importers, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, indoor and outdoor shooting ranges, special effects companies, prop houses, armories, pyro-technicians, celebrities and other individuals who face federal and state licensing, permits, compliance issues, criminal charges, or who just want to know more about the laws. We know the details and background behind California’s gun laws. And, we know the people enforcing those laws.
