Philly Firearms Academy was established in 2010 by US Army veteran José Morales, a Master Firearms Instructor with over 20 years of firearm safety and handling experience. Since then, they've trained thousands of students across Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware—from first-time gun buyers to law enforcement and military professionals.
The Academy specializes in three core areas:
- •New shooters navigating firearms ownership for the first time
- •Fundamental shooting skills and technique improvement
- •Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms (Concealed Carry Permits)
"We UNDERSTAND how anxiety-provoking the first time purchasing and owning of a firearm can be."
Morales and his team reject the "one size fits all" method. Every student gets customized instruction based on their individual learning style and needs. The result: measurable improvement in minimal time, with unwavering focus on safety.
They know the PA License to Carry process confuses people. They guide students through every step—applications, documentation, legal requirements—removing the frustration of figuring it out alone.
José Morales holds certifications across the full spectrum of firearms instruction:
- •USCCA Certified Concealed Carry and Home Defense Instructor
- •NRA Certified Instructor and Training Counselor (all disciplines)
- •Chief Range Safety Officer
- •Certified Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun Instructor
- •Certified Personal Protection Instructor (home and outside the home)
- •Massad Ayoob Group Certified Use of Lethal Force Instructor
- •Glock Certified Armorer
- •Utah Bureau of Criminal Investigation Certified Firearms Instructor
Morales is one of a handful of instructors nationally selected to consult on alternate technologies for firearms training.
The Academy operates under a clear principle: owning a firearm brings moral, legal, and ethical responsibility. Quality training is the foundation of proficiency—and it doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Their classes happen in a safe, enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere.
