My name is Josué and I'm the owner and lead instructor of Urban Firearm Society LLC.

I started Urban Firearm Society out of a desire to share my passion with others and make sure that everyone I teach is properly trained. I am committed to providing the best student and customer experience that a firearms safety class is able to offer. We are constantly re-evaluating and adapting our processes and methods in an effort to exceed expectations. My desire is to create an environment where students of all backgrounds are welcome and feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes in a controlled environment and feel comfortable with the material that is taught. I want to guide my students through first time gun ownership and make sure their initial experience is a positive one. If my passion and goals resonate with you, then I hope to see you in class!
