Larry Pratt, Executive Director at Gun Owners of America (GOA) continues the interview by discussing home invasions and the need to always be aware of your surroundings and be prepared for the worst.<\/p>

He also states that 97% of all gun uses for deterring crime are made without a shot being fired, which equates to about 2.5 million times in a year. This fact demonstrates how seriously the average gun owner accepts the large responsibility for owning a gun.<\/p>

Mr. Pratt was interviewed by John McManus, publisher of The New American magazine and president of The John Birch Society.<\/p>
