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. I am also a certified 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. All training is indoors in a state of the art climate controlled facility.
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.
