"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."
Like Bale's righteous rage, I believe Mr. Lewis. And by the way, you never know who is bothering him with their "pride and joy."
Just because he's Jerry Lewis, doesn't make him different from the rest of us "suspected terrorists." I want them all treated the same as I am when I'm in the airport, and I need for them to follow the same set of rules. It's just American for them to do so, they're no different. Unloaded is no different than loaded, either.
