As the Editor-in-Chief of GunsAmerica, Hunt365, Decoding Darkness, and Suppressor Academy, True Pearce brings a rare blend of legal expertise, competitive shooting credentials, and deep hunting knowledge to the forefront of the firearms world. A former professional sponsored 3-Gun and Multigun competitor with multiple championships and titles, True’s shooting career began in long-range and tactical sniper matches—and he still burns powder in precision competitions, now branching into Hunter NRL.
A certified firearms instructor who has trained over 10,000 students face-to-face, True has also served on both sides of the courtroom as an attorney and currently as an elected Prosecuting Attorney. He has prosecuted and defended high-profile self-defense and firearms cases, giving him a unique, real-world perspective on the Second Amendment.
Outside the courtroom and off the range, True is a true western outdoorsman. A lifelong hunter and rancher, he rides and hunts off his own string of horses and pack animals, chasing elk, mule deer, wolves, coyotes, and anything else in season. He’s a longtime reloader, producing both precision rifle ammo and, back in the day, handloading over 40,000 rounds of 9mm and 5.56 annually for competition.
He’s also a thermal and night vision expert, known for his obsession with high-end optics, and is rarely found without a camera or a guitar nearby. Whether he’s glassing a distant ridge, reviewing cutting-edge gear, or deep in legal research, True brings passion, precision, and grit to everything he does.

And wear latex gloves when handling wolves due to hydatid tapeworm disease in over 60% of wolves in central Idaho. This a serious and dangerous disease for humans as well as all ungulates. The immature tapeworms burrow out of our gutwalls and encyst in our internal organs if we become contaminated by eggs deposited in their fur by licking themselves and cleaning their rectal areas. Check the internal organs of deer and elk for signs of cysts, especially the livers before you consume them, and cook them well done. IDFG doesn’t want to talk about it, but do the research for yourself… We can thank the quiche-eating liberals for this one. They just laugh and say “get over it. It has been in the sheep industry in Australia for decades…” The wolves, as the established apex predators, are the primary hosts for this disease now in Idaho. Ungulates become contaminated by eating the lush grass that grows up around wolf scat piles containing the billions of excreted tapeworm eggs that remain viable for months, and are the intermediate hosts. They will not remain in a gut environment that is not a100% meat protein diet like canines. I talked to an IDFG biologist about this and she questioned how the wolves could be a danger to humans, until I reminded her of canine grooming habits, and she got real quiet…
