The answer is almost always "YES". You can be charged with a crime related to firearms possession if the weapon is old, broken, damaged, incomplete, fake, a non-lethal toy or sport item, etc.

For example, if you walk into your school carrying a paintball gun, you will almost certainly be charged with a felony.

If you have just part of a gun in an accessible area of your car in California, you will be cited for a felony. Even a gun clip with bullets in it is considered a deadly firearm in a motor vehicle.
