Hello

I’m Christopher Hornbaker—though most people just call me Chris.

 

I’ve been practicing law for years, but my passion for firearms and helping others protect what matters most is what led me to become one of the preeminent gun trust attorneys in the country. To date, I’ve drafted over 500 gun trusts for clients in more than 15 states.

What does that mean for you? It means you’re not working with someone who just “knows the law.” You’re working with someone who understands firearms, their value, and the importance of keeping them safe, accessible, and properly transferred. Whether you’re an individual gun owner, a manufacturer, or a shop, I make sure your trust is more than a stack of legal papers—it’s a shield for the legacy you’re building.

 

I spend much of my time drafting trusts, educating clients, and speaking on firearms law, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Every conversation I have with a fellow gun owner or business is another chance to help people preserve their rights and safeguard what they love.

I’m a proud graduate of the University of Wyoming (Go Pokes!) and an active member of the Wyoming State Bar. My Wyoming roots run deep, but my practice extends far beyond state lines. I regularly partner with licensed attorneys across the country so that no matter where you live, you can get the protection and guidance you need.

When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me on the range, chasing the perfect grouping, or out in the field on a hunt. Those are the places I feel grounded—where law and lifestyle come together.

At the end of the day, this work isn’t just about trusts or statutes. It’s about people. It’s about making sure that the rifles, shotguns, suppressors, and heirloom pieces you cherish don’t become legal headaches, but instead remain a source of pride and tradition for your family or business for generations to come.

If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.

My Story

I grew up around firearms—learning early on that they carried more than just weight in steel and wood. They carried lessons in respect, tradition, and responsibility. From cleaning a rifle after a long day of hunting to hearing stories passed down with each firearm, I came to understand that these weren’t just tools—they were family heirlooms, part of our heritage.

But the simple days of firearm ownership are long gone. Today, the maze of regulations and legislation can overwhelm even the most responsible gun owner. I’ll never forget the case where I watched an entire collection of a family’s firearms—representing generations of history—lost to government and court intervention. That moment set me on my path.

Now, through GunLocker Trust, I help ensure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to you. I provide comprehensive planning that protects your firearms, honors your wishes, and keeps transfers private and efficient. The goal is simple: to safeguard not just your collection, but the traditions and values that come with it.
