Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The key distinction for upholding a conviction of armed robbery when an unloaded gun is used lies in the threat or appearance of immediate force, rather than the planning aspect of the crime. Choices A, C, and D directly relate to the perception and potential use of the gun during the robbery, emphasizing its role in creating a threatening situation regardless of its loaded state. Choice B, focusing on the preplanning of the crime indicated by the possession of a gun, does not directly pertain to the reasons for upholding an armed robbery conviction based on the use of an unloaded gun. The law's primary concern in these cases is the immediate threat posed by the weapon, not the premeditation aspect highlighted in choice B.
