Lewis cited for carrying gun

LAS VEGAS (UPI) -- U.S. comic icon Jerry Lewis reportedly was cited 
for attempting to board a flight from Las Vegas to Detroit with an 
unloaded gun in his carry-on bag.

E! Online said the 82-year-old performer was briefly detained Friday 
at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas by police who 
confiscated his .22-caliber Beretta and cited Lewis for allegedly 
carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

Lewis' manager told E! Online the confiscated item is actually a 
hollowed-out prop pistol incapable of firing.

However, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police spokesman Officer Bill Cassell 
maintains that if that was true, "it wouldn't be a weapon and we 
couldn't cite him for carrying a weapon."

Lewis was allowed to board his flight following the citation, E! Online said.
