robbery vs. larceny

Okay, let me start out by saying I understand that you should be aware of your surroundings and the firearm is a last resort, so I am not trying to debate that in this thread. I just wanted some opinions on robbery vs larceny



I always thought that if someone walked up to you and said "give me all your money", that was robbery. After looking at the definition of robbery again, robbery is larceny + the threat of violence. Does that mean that if someone walks up to you and says "give me all your money" but does not threaten violence or have a weapon or even touch you, then did they not "rob" you? It makes a big difference because larceny is not a forcible felony but robbery is. Robbery is cause for legally using deadly force to defend yourself, larceny is not.

If that is true that "give me all your money" w/o threat or a weapon is larceny and not robbery, would that then mean that you should tell the person to ": censored off" and wait for them to threaten you or assault you before deadly force would be authorized against them?

Again avoid the situation, I understand and I will try at all cost. I am simply wanting to remove all other variables and just talk about the questions above.

Thanks
