No matter how bad you think last week was in your life, it can’t be any worse than this guy.

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.

First he was was tied up and pistol-whipped when at least three intruders broke into his Columbus-area home Sept. 20. He had his nose broken and his pickup truck, a computer and credit cards were stolen.

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

If I were this guy I would not be leaving the house for a few days and possibly not even getting out of bed.
