A man operating a moving business out of his apartment, opened his door to men he thought were looking for work.

He ended up being shot in the head. He survived with just a small wound (see article for photo)

He talks about not believing it was a real gun and saying he was going to get his bigger gun.

One report that I have not found, mentioned that caliber was why, he was not more seriously hurt.

Or may be it was the angle of the bullet to the head. I remembered hearing that assassins used .22's very effectively at close range.

Over the years, I've known several people who could've been shot in the head and survived. In fact, I questioned a couple.:smilelol5:

It is in fact very funny. ROTFL.
