About Adam Kraut
Adam Kraut is a Pennsylvania-born firearms attorney and Second Amendment litigator who has worked with several of the leading gun rights organizations. Introduced to shooting through the Boy Scouts, he earned a political science degree, attended law school in Delaware, and before and during his legal career worked for and managed a federally licensed firearms retailer. During his final year of law school he interned with Pennsylvania firearms attorney Joshua Prince, then joined that practice for several years, handling industry matters, gun trusts and game law. He also wrote for Recoil magazine and hosted the video program The Legal Brief.
In August 2019 the Firearms Policy Coalition named Kraut its Director of Legal Strategy, a role in which he worked on state and federal cases, many brought jointly with the Second Amendment Foundation. He was nominated by petition for the NRA Board of Directors three times and declined a seat on the third occasion because of his FPC role. In late 2022 he was hired as executive director of the Second Amendment Foundation, speaking at that year’s Gun Rights Policy Conference in Dallas about legal challenges facing gun owners, including challenges involving 18- to 20-year-old adults. He remains a frequent guest on firearms podcasts discussing Second Amendment litigation.
