Becomes very obvious in the third season premiere, when Jake leaves the police force and says he doesn't have to hand in his gun since he never took one to begin with. Several times after this he mentions not liking guns, and a good indicator of when things are about to get serious is when Jake gets out a gun (like when Tinny and Des get kidnapped).
