Reference "Lock 'n Load" posted by Russell on September 08, 2005:" What does the term lock and load mean?"

Is the phrase Load 'n Lock; or lock 'n load? One must load a round into the weapon's chamber then lock the bolt before the gun can be fired.

If language were logical, how beggars would ride!
