Our Story
2A Arms & Medical
2A Arms & Medical is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founded and operated by a seasoned US Navy Hospital Corpsman.
An Alabama native with 18 years as a Navy Hospital Corpsman and 15 years as a High-Risk Naval Aviation Survival Instructor, Joshua has trained thousands of joint warfighters in survival medicine, trauma care, water survival, and high-risk aviation environments. He is a trained armorer from his time with the Naval Security Forces, a qualified Master Training Specialist, has an Associates in Health Sciences and recipient of both the Navy Commendation Medal and Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for rendering life-saving aid.
From precision custom AR builds, gunsmithing, and compliant online firearms sales to civilian trauma, and CPR/BLS courses, everything we do is built on one simple idea: Your safety, your readiness, and your trust are non-negotiable. Trust us to journey with you to make “your” custom AR style rifle or provide the skills that could save someone’s life. Active-duty owned. Combat-proven instruction. Veteran-built quality.
When he’s not teaching the next generation of Aerospace Physiology Technicians and aircrew how to survive and fight, Joshua is a trained gunsmith and home-based FFL dealer who believes every responsibly armed citizen deserves the same level of professionalism, knowledge, and real-world experience that he brings to the fleet. He truly believes that each citizen should be able to protect themselves and others via our 2nd Amendment, along with being able to render lifesaving aid, if needed, until first responders arrive on scene when disaster strikes. And his civilian trauma course provides realistic hands-on training to help prepare you for if a bad day arises. He’s had 15 years of training warfighters, now he’s training you!
