Firearms law is a unique and challenging specialty. Firearm laws are complex, particularly in California. There are thousands of state statutes regulating firearm manufacture, distribution, sale, and possession. There are thousands more cases interpreting these statutes. That does not include the countless regulations, local laws and ordinances, agency regulations and policies, treatises and articles. And there are complex and comprehensive overlapping federal laws and regulations that must also be considered.

To answer the vast majority of the questions that we are asked, Michel & Associates’ senior attorney, C.D.
