About Us – Meet Your Lead Instructor

Real Training. Real Experience. Real Commitment.

Welcome to NY Safe Inc.—where expertise meets passion, and every class is taught by someone who lives and breathes responsible gun ownership.

Meet Peter Ticali – Your Lead Instructor

I’m Peter Ticali, founder and lead instructor at NY Safe Inc. For more than 30 years, I’ve been a dedicated firearms enthusiast, Second Amendment supporter, and outspoken advocate for gun rights and safety. I know what it takes to stay prepared, informed, and confident—because I walk the walk every day.

Experience You Can Trust

I’m also licensed as a firearms instructor in Maryland (MD), Washington, D.C. (DC), and Utah (UT). My classes regularly help students secure their concealed carry licenses in NY, NJ, CT, FL, AZ, NH, PA, RI, MD, DC, and UT. And yes, I practice what I preach—I currently hold concealed carry permits in 14 states, covering almost 90% of the U.S.

I’ve held my NY pistol license since 1992. That’s over three decades of experience navigating complex licensing, renewals, and compliance, which means you get real-world guidance, not just theory.

Trailblazer in NY Firearms Training

I was the first approved DC instructor in Suffolk County, NY, and among the very first to bring Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey concealed carry training to Long Island. When New York’s ammo laws changed in 2024, I stepped up—becoming a licensed Seller of Ammunition with NY State Police. This lets my students and customers buy quality, reliable ammunition from trusted online sources and still comply with every state regulation.

Community Focus & Service

Service is at the core of what I do—both in the classroom and beyond:

  • Sergeant-at-Arms, Sons of the American Legion Post 833
  • Historian, Suffolk County Detachment – Sons of the American Legion
  • Webmaster, Suffolk County Police Civilian’s Academy Alumni Association
  • Deep, active connections with veterans and law enforcement across the country
