1. A furniture drive for moving a movable furniture part relative to a furniture carcass, the furniture drive comprising:
a housing configured to be arranged on or within a furniture panel of the furniture carcass;
an actuating arm assembly for moving the movable furniture part, the actuating arm assembly including a first actuating arm and a second actuating arm pivotable relative to one another, the first actuating arm being movably-supported relative to the housing and to be fixed to the movable furniture part, the actuating arm assembly being movable between a first relative position corresponding to a closed position of the movable furniture part, and a second relative position corresponding to a fully open position of the movable furniture part; and
a releasable blocking device configured to block a pivotal movement of the actuating arm assembly from the second relative position in a direction of the first relative position,
wherein the releasable blocking device includes a movably supported blocking element configured to be moved between a blocking position and an unblocking position, a movement of the actuating arm assembly between the first relative position and the second relative position being unblocked by the blocking device when the blocking element is in the unblocking position,
wherein the blocking element of the blocking device is supported on a first one of the first actuating arm and the second actuating arm, and includes an abutment configured to bear against a counter-abutment supported on a second one of the first actuating arm and the second actuating arm in the blocking position of the blocking element and in a blocking angle position of the actuating arm assembly relative to the housing, and
wherein the actuating arm assembly is freely movable between the second relative position and the blocking angle position when the blocking element is in the blocking position, and a pivotal movement of the actuating arm assembly from the second relative position in a direction of the first relative position beyond the blocking angle position is blocked when the blocking element is in the blocking position.
