The police only put you in jail to hold you until you go to trial and are convicted. Then you get serious time. The exact time depends on many factors: the state you live in, who you robbed, who you are with, what the weapon is...

Robbery is a felony... which normally includes prison time. The exact times are different for each state, plus the courts decision. Depending on who you robbed, and what weapon you used, etc. the prison sentence may become much larger because of 'enhancements'. Bottom line, you could face 25 to life.......

Which is the act of using a deadly weapon to help you steal?

Stealing with violence (gun, knife, fists, other wreapons, or even the threat of violence) is robbery. It doesn't matter if the weapon is deadly or not, it is robbery. It would be armed robbery if you had a firearm.ANOTHER VIEW: It is defined as ARMED ROBBERY. It makes NO difference what the weapon is (gun, knife, stick, table leg, golf club, etc) if you are "armed" with it and use it as a weapon to put the victim in fear of their life or grave bodily injury you have committed ARMED robbery. The answer above is incorrect as to the use of fists or feet as the instrument of the robbery, THAT particular charge would be called "Robbery By Force And Violence."
