Outside of his Single Action Army models, the Rigby, and Weatherby by far they're mostly home defense/self defense models. He had a CCW. Probably kept a few shotguns, and S&W snubbies at each of his homes/properties. Nothing to raise an army with, I'd say he ultimately knew his physical security was in his own hands.

Yet no mention of the massive watch arsenal, some of them fully automatic! When you control time, you control everything!

When I read the article I did not see it as anti gun just more hype than anything else.

I've heard of Spielberg's gun collection. He supposedly has several bespoke shotguns that exceed $100k each. I suppose that double barrel shotguns are acceptable among the Hollywood elite.

The Weatherby .22 rifle is the only thing that I would want.

Jerry sure was a fan of the Smith 60.
The Gen 2 17 with the rear overhang target sights would make me guess it's a pretty early one. A Glock collector who's also a Jerry Lewis fan might like showing that off.
I was handed down the exact same Ruger Super Blackhawk from my old man. Mine has the same barrel length and aftermarket walnut grips that are pretty much exactly like the grips on Jerry's. Every time I pick up that cannon, all I can think is "what a stupid gun." Now that I know Jerry Lewis had one just like it, it makes a little more sense... somehow.

I'd take the .257. A classic rifle with classic (for the rifle) styling chambered for a classic cartridge from the classic place ( 20th century California, with the Hollywood connection that I believe John Wayne more or less established for them and that apparently led to the Weatherby rifles and cartridges really taking off) and the classic time in which the rifle and cartridge took off. I don't know that it's magic, but talk about being able to hold a time and place in your own two hands!

I've known for some time, that the media thinks I have an arsenal but this is the first time I've learned it's beyond "massive".

Lots of nice S&Ws, but the estimates in the auction catalog are ridiculously low. For example, they have a pre-27 3.5 inch N frame estimated at $800-1200. I wish!

Oh that one caught my eye as well. I'll give them $1200 right now. Look at those grips.

Everything the Hollywood elite do is acceptable among the Hollywood elite. But they're elite. The same rules do not apply to you and me.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

I might have to keep an eye on the auction and maybe register to bid. I wasn’t a fan of Jerry Lewis but I am a fan of Berettas and if I could get one of those Centurions cheap... of course, it would be a shooter for me.

He seemed to be a huge Beretta fan but I might register to bid on that 1990 ball signed by the Red Sox. Nothing particularly impressive about that year but it was signed to him, he apparently believed in the 2nd ammmendment, and he had a CCW.
I'd put that ball in my collection with pride.

Styles of men’s watches sure have changed. Definitely nice quality time pieces. Estimates seem low
Also seems he was a mossberg man. Had some interesting choices.
The pre 27 needs further research, those grips could be worth half the price of the gun depending on maker.
The fast draw colt with holster set would be cool if you could prove that’s the setup he used in his act.
