My name is Josué and I'm the owner and lead instructor of the Hispanic-owned Urban Firearm Society.
I started Urban Firearm Society out of a desire to share my passion with others. After experiencing instructors who ran classes that felt rushed, disorganized or underwhelming, I wanted to dedicate my time to making sure that everyone around me would get properly trained. My desire is to create an environment where my students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes and ultimately feel comfortable with the material we teach. I want to guide my students through first time gun ownership and make their initial experiences a positive one.
Learning never stops
Being certified as a firearms instructor doesn't mean I've reached the limit of my training. Handling firearms is a skill and like all skills, it can grow weak over time if not practiced. I'm actively continuing my training and currently pursuing certifications by entities like Sig Sauer Academy, USCAA and more.
Since firearms knowledge and experience alone doesn't qualify a person to teach, my goal is to learn as much as I can about firearms while also learning the best methods to share that knowledge.
