Armed Robbery Laws & Penalties
In addition to first-degree and second-degree robbery penalties, there are various enhancements which may make the consequences of the violent crime more serious. California’s “10-20-life use a gun and you’re down” enables those convicted of armed robbery to serve longer sentences.
The following are the enhanced penalties relating to armed robbery in California:
- An extra 10 years for personally using a firearm during the commission of robbery
- An extra 20 years for personally and intentionally firing a gun during the commission of robbery
- An extra 25 years to life if you cause an individual great bodily injury or death with a firearm during the commission of robbery
