who we are

My name is Steve A. Harless II, and I am proud to be the owner of The Gun Locker. Originally from Texas, I am a 13-year U.S. Navy veteran, where I served as a Gunner’s Mate. My passion for firearms began long before my military career—I was raised around them my entire life, learning not only the skills of shooting but also the responsibility and respect that comes with firearm ownership.

My wife, Elizabeth, is from Litchfield, and together we are raising our three wonderful children. As a family, we are dedicated to building a business that reflects our values: honesty, integrity, and a true commitment to serving our community.

At The Gun Locker, we combine real-world experience with a genuine passion for firearms, safety, and education. Whether you are an experienced shooter, a collector, or brand new to firearms, our goal is to make sure you feel welcome, informed, and confident in your choices.

No matter what stage of shooting you are in—as a seasoned vet or someone new to shooting—we will help find the right firearm for you.
