Probably three years in Missouri. However, if it is a Class A felony, there is no limit.
Mississippi does not like felons! They have decided that there will not be a statute of limitations on robbery. There are a few felonies that are set at 2 years, but this isn't one of them!
Maryland frowns on people robbing their citizens. There is no statute of limitations for any felony, including armed robbery, in Maryland. Which means you can be tapped on the shoulder and arrested at any time in your life.
The statutes vary depending on the jurisdiction. It will also depend on what level of crime armed robbery is defined in at that location. In many cases it would be a felony and it could be anything from two years to no limit at all.
North Carolina's statute of limitations are very basic and simple. Armed robbery is going to be brought as a felony charge. If the crime is a felony of any type there is no limit. Malicious misdemeanors have not limit either. Other misdemeanors are set at 2 years.
Seven years from the date that the individual is charged with armed robbery. There are exceptions if DNA evidence is presented BEFORE the statute reaches its limit. That applies only on the state of Georgia and as of today(5/10/2011). I do not know about any other statesAdded: ALSO - the statute stops running if you are out of the state.
2 years after the commission of the crime
No. Once issued a warrant does not expire. Likewise, the statute of limitations for a person to be tried for a crime does not apply when a valid warrant is in affect.
3 years. However that only applies to the filing of charges/issuing of a warrant. That includes so called 'John Doe' warrants issued on the basis of DNA evidence, essentially a warrant issued for a person matching a known DNA sample/profile without a name being known. Once charges are filed/a warrant issued the statute of limitations does not apply, e.g. fugitive status does not end because of the statute of limitations running out. Additionally armed robberies can easily also be federal crimes, for example the robbery of a post office or FDIC insured financial institution in which case the CA statute of limitation is essentially irrelevant. Any robbery committed on federal property would be another example. It is also difficult to commit an armed robbery without simultaneously technically violating a slew of other laws as well, which my or may not have the same statute of limitations.

armed robbery causes and solutions
One good solution is Armed Self-Defense.
It is the police code for Armed Robbery
Indiana's statute of limitations is based on the seriousness of the crime charged. Murder and Class A Felonies have no limit. The other felonies are set at 5 years with extensions for underage victims and DNA evidence. Misdemeanors are set as 2 years. Absence from the state or concealing the evidence can toll the statute.
