Worst. Week. Ever.

Beaten man is shot during self-defense lesson
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GROVEPORT, Ohio - An 80-year-old Ohio man is recovering from a week in which he was beaten during a home invasion and then shot while trying to learn about guns.

Ralph Needs says he wouldn't want anyone to experience what he's been through. He was tied up and pistol-whipped when at least three intruders broke into his Columbus-area home Sept. 20, according to The Columbus Dispatch newspaper. Needs' nose was broken and his pickup truck, a computer and credit cards were stolen.

Four days later, Needs was shot in the hand during a self-defence lesson. A 9 mm pistol went off as one of his sons was loading it.

What a week this guy is having eh? Its not bad enough he gets all his stuff jacked during a home invasion but the thieves decide to add injury to insult and pistol whip him. So he gets all empowered and decides to learn how to use a gun and promptly gets shot in the hand.

If I were this guy I'd hold onto my dog pretty close because that thing is either about to get run over or stolen. And if his wife is still alive she's probably screwing around on him with a guy from her seniors square dance class. Chin up though buddy, you're almost at the finish line anyway. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell for that one.
