Locked and cocked is a term usually associated with a firearm, although it is usually said "Cocked and Locked". This refers to arming the firearm, that is the gun has a bullet chambered and the hammer is cocked and the gun will fire if the trigger is pulled. Locked means the safety is engaged. Cocked, locked and ready to rock is a longer version of the phrase. It just means you are ready. You are fully prepared to do what needs to be done.

Where did expression half-cocked come from?
The expression "half-cocked" originates from the mechanics of firearms, specifically referring to the position of a gun's hammer when it is partially pulled back but not fully cocked. In this state, the gun is unsafe and unreliable, as it may not fire properly. Over time, the phrase has evolved to describe a situation or action that is incomplete, poorly planned, or lacking full commitment, suggesting that someone is not fully prepared or has acted prematurely.
