Not being a native English speaker, I do not understand the meaning and origin of the phrase "LOck and Load".
It means to lock the rifles safety and load it's chamber in preperation for firing at an enemy. It is usualy used in a military context but head-bangers and such use it when talking about loading their bongs and I am shure other groups use it as well in various contexts.
Wait a second, aren't we supposed to load first and lock later? How can you load a rifle if it is on safety?
