Hi, I’m Bob DeGaetano, owner of GunSafe Firearms Training. I proudly served 25 years with the Atlantic City Police Department, retiring at the rank of Captain. During my career, I spent 22 years as a firearms instructor and ultimately commanded the Training Unit, where I oversaw the training of more than 400 officers, including our SWAT Team.
Nearly half of my career was spent with SWAT, where I served as an operator, FBI-certified sniper, trainer, supervisor and eventually team commander.
After retiring in 2017, I founded GunSafe to continue my passion for firearms instruction. I maintain multiple certifications including Police Training Commission (PTC) Range Master and Firearms Instructor in handgun, rifle, shotgun, and subgun disciplines. I am also certified as an NRA Instructor and Retired Police Officer (RPO) Instructor.
With over 29 years of experience in firearms training, I continue to teach both law enforcement and civilian students through private lessons and New Jersey Permit to Carry (CCW) courses.
GunSafe’s mission is to provide quality firearms instruction to all levels of shooters, first timers to experienced, in a safe and fun learning environment. Schedule a one-on-one session or bring a friend or family member. You will most certainly leave with a smile on your face and a solid foundation of gun safety.
