Comedian and film icon Jerry Lewis is caught with an unloaded gun at McCarran airport.

Police say the 82-year-old was taking a Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit Friday when the gun was discovered in his carry-on bag. Lewis told Metro he forgot he had placed the gun in his bag.

Officers confiscated the 22-caliber Beretta and cited Lewis for having a concealed weapon without a permit.

Lewis was allowed to take his flight.
