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

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 reevaluating and adapting our processes 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.

Learning never stops

An intructor should never stop learning. 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 taking advanced courses from entities like Sig Sauer Academy and high level competition shooters.

Firearms knowledge and experience alone don't qualify a person to teach, so my goal is to learn as much as I can while also learning the best methods to share that knowledge. If my passion and goals resonate with you, I hope to see you in class!
