Time for another installment of Girls with Guns.
This week it is Gangster Girls.
I do not want to imply that I am condoning the actions of criminals, but some people thought of the bank robbers of the 20s & 30s to be "Robin Hood" like.
At any rate, this kind of criminal activity is one reason a women might have a gun....of course the exploits of such women led to actresses being more prominently featured in the gangster and detective movies of the 50's and 60's.
We'll start with the original gangster girl, Bonnie Parker. As many of you know, she lived by the gun and died by the gun.....
More girls inspired by Ms. Parker
Jaimie King from the 2005 film Sin City
Other Gangster Girls

2nd to last photo - Smoldering Jane Greer from the classic Noir film "Out Of The Past." She is watching Robert Mitchum fight a guy that she is about to murder with that gun. Nasty nasty girl. The literal Femme Fatal for Robert in the end.
