Vegas police: Jerry Lewis cited for gun in luggage
Police say they have confiscated a gun belonging to Jerry Lewis that was found in the 82-year-old entertainer's carryon bag as he prepared to fly to Detroit from Las Vegas.
Las Vegas policeman Bill Cassell said Tuesday that the actor was cited Friday for carrying an unloaded concealed weapon at the Las Vegas airport.
Lewis' manager, Claudia Marghilano, says the handgun is a hollowed-out prop gun that Lewis sometimes twirls during his show. She tells The Associated Press that the gun couldn't fire.
Marghilano says Lewis didn't know the gun was in the bag along with other props.
Cassell says if the gun were merely a prop "it wouldn't be a weapon and we couldn't cite him for carrying a weapon."
Probably a good piece of equipment to have in Detroit.
I wonder if he was there and was actually trying to sneak it on by placing it in with his props. If he got through, cool. If he got caught, then it was misplaced and I thought it was a prop. After all, it is in the props bag.

He was going to Detriot.... I'd be packing heat if I was visiting there too.
Having once been to Detroit, this made me laugh.
