Can a defendant who commits assault with a firearm during a first-degree robbery receive a concurrent sentence for assault with the firearm?

Defendants contends, the prosecution concedes, and we agree that the concurrent sentence for assault with a firearm must be stayed pursuant to section 654. The robbery and assault of one of the restaurant owners were committed with a single objective, to steal money from the cash register which the restaurant owner controlled, and were part of an indivisible transaction. (People v. Beamon (1973) 8 Cal.3d 625, 637 [defendant who commits assault with a deadly weapon in the commission of first degree robbery may be convicted of both offenses but not separately punished].)
