Jerry Lewis’ gun charges have been dismissed by a Las Vegas judge. Lewis, 82, didn’t have a gun permit while trying to board a flight with an unloaded .22 caliber Beretta in his bag on his way to Detroit in July, and had the weapon confiscated.

The original Nutty Professor actor explained that the Beretta was actually a hand-engraved keepsake that was given to him from the Muscualr Distrophy Association last year during his annual telethon for the cause.

Justice Karen Bennett-Haron agreed to toss a charge of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit after all agreed not to fine the octogenarian entertainer for his infraction.
