Rights: Public domain; owner's decision of 12 October 2026. The research record's basis: the FBI publishes the photograph on its Bonnie and Clyde history page without a credit line; it is a snapshot whose maker is not stated and is not known to be a federal work, so the research filed it as unresolved. This archive uses it on the owner's decision and stores a copy captured from the FBI page.

The FBI’s image page titles this photograph “Bonnie and Clyde Horse Around With a Gun (Large)” and captions it: “Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, during their crime spree, playfully pose with guns outdoors for the camera.” The image shows a woman in a beret holding a shotgun level toward a man in a hat who holds a pistol at his side. The identification is the FBI’s; the page gives no date, place or photographer, and this archive records the photograph as undated.

The picture is a private snapshot, not a Bureau record, and it shows a pose, not an event. The research for this archive filed it as of unresolved rights; it is published here on the owner’s decision of 12 October 2026, from a copy captured from the FBI’s image page that day. This page quotes the FBI’s caption and does not adopt its tone.
