Bonnie & Clyde

Yesterday, Bonnie's revolver and Clyde's semi-automatic pistol sold at auction for a combined total of over $500,000.  With no sign of firearms, this 1933 picture of Mr. Barrow and Miss Parker could be of any happy young couple.  Retronaut posted a series of candid photos of Bonnie and Clyde, most of which give a little more indication of their risky occupation.
