Here's one for those of you that are still unsure about carrying firearms. In all his infinite wisdom, a federal judge has decided that having aspiring Presidential assassin John Hinkley run loose around the neighborhood is not a bad thing.

John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate President Reagan in 1981, will be allowed to make unsupervised visits with his parents away from the mental hospital where he lives, a federal judge decided Wednesday.

Hinckley's lawyers had argued that psychiatrists favored the idea. But government attorneys said Hinckley is still dangerous -- and that he's been trying to fool his doctors.

It's just too bad that citizens of Washington D.C. and Maryland, where access to firearms is severely limited, will just have to hope and pray that Hinkley doesn't have a mental relapse.
