So he had the gun locked and loaded,didn't know where it was,and shot off his peen?
At least he is going to jail again,and can't have kids.
The action was set to fire.What do you mean by "locked"? Clearly, it was loaded.
I read that to the melody of "Southern Man". LolFlorida man
Didn't check your gat
Shot your dick off
As you sat
Surgery ain't gonna
Change it back
Now your testicles
Are bleeding fast
Florida man
Anything that brings up Neil Young would make shooting yourself in any part if yourself justified.I read that to the melody of "Southern Man". Lol
Wow...
I'm so sorry but whenever I read stuff like this the only thing I can think of is this

Loaded just means there are rounds in the the chamber or magazine.
I sit corrected. We called it locked and loaded in The Corps.That would be "cocked." Locked means the safety on. This guy was clearly not locked. He was cocked, but is not cocked any longer.
Not anymore.A perfect illustration of the Peter Principle....
Story has a hole in it.A perfect illustration of the Peter Principle....

Then again we squeezed the trigger, now they press the trigger.

It is the military, so yes terminology gets mixed up.I did a little research on the origin of "lock and load". The explanation that makes the most sense comes from the days of the M1 Garand and its en bloc clip. The shooter would lock the action open and load the clip. The action would close once the clip was inserted (hence the term "Garand thumb"). So, to load a Garand, one would correctly say "lock and load".
Another explanation I've read is "lock and load" is a range command meaning to put the gun on safe and load a magazine. I've never, ever heard this command given at any range. I've always heard, "load and make ready".
I suspect the use now is something of a mix-up with "cocked and locked", meaning hammer back and safety on.
I'm sure the military uses the term however they want because (1) history and (2) they're the military.
