Talk:NYPD Rodman's Neck Firing Range

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank McGee was not the same man as the Sports figure!

There are many Frank McGee's and this one was a Firearms expert.

If both men used the name "Frank McGee" as their name, then the actual Frank McGee page needs to become a disambiguation page, with separate pages for Frank McGee (sportsman) and Frank McGee (NYPD) or something like that. AlistairMcMillan 23:35, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Article needs to be tidied. Sources need to be cited. I would like to do it as I am interested in NY related topics, but I know nothing about this subject. AlistairMcMillan 23:35, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I fixed the title of this article. "N.Y.P.D " had three dots (it was missing the one after the D). There should have either been four dots or none. I (somewhat arbitarially) picked none. --RoySmith 16:53, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Roy,

I am displeased that you deleted so much info from my writing of this article.

According to the late NYPD Lt Frank Mc Gee, he was the model for "The Thug"

[edit] NYPD Lt Frank McGee of Rodman's Neck Range

The following is an excerpt from my book.

And so my friend from St Thomas School invited me to meet his foster father.

Leiutenant Frank McGee of the New York City Police Department's Rodman's Neck Range was a tall lanky man who was about 60 and the World's foremost expert on firearms and guns.

We got to see the range the next week!

He took us on a vip tour of the police base!

He showed us the range and we got to actually shoot 22's and we had great fun shooting the paper targets with wadcutter bullets.

He took us to the weapons storage area and it was filled like king Tut's tomb!

There were hundreds or rifles and shotguns and pistols and hundreds of weapons of every kind!

He got out a Tommy Gun and made me hold it!

It was heavy!

He then showed us the training areas that had simulated one story buildings for practice.

He took us to a garage to see the "War Wagon" which had VHF UHF AM FM TV RADAR and police freqs for radios and had an arry of weapons for riot or assault!

Then we went down to the point where they detonated bombs.

There are several craters there for bomb disposal.

McGee then got out a stick of something and put it in the crater and blew it up!

Very impressive! What was it?

C4 explosives!

So then we had lunch and watched cadets train at the range.

The men were instructed and coached on when to shoot and when to lock and load and such.

It was one of the most exciting days of my life!

Sadly, I cannot go back there to visit him anymore.

He retired and died and I don't know anyone in charge there anymore.

And to Lt. Frank McGee NYPD, I must thank you for that day!

He was a good egg!

That was one of the best days of my life!
