Don’t they have red flagged “safety pins” for this? We did 50 years ago.
Was wondering about this. When I was a DOD contractor back in the 70’s, most/all of the ordinance was interlocked to the landing gear, so that if weight was on the gear everything was locked out.

Never thought of that.
Clearly, Hollywood has, from time to time forgotten that.

That might explain a story I was told years ago of the on-base response at Wheelus Field, Libya after the 1970 coup that put Khadaffi in power. There were two gates into the base, and at each one they supposedly had parked an F-100, jacked up, with its 20mm guns pointed at the gate. I didn’t understand the “jacked up” part before now.
