Maybe - maybe not. If the gun was involved in a violent felony and you are in possession of it, yes, you could be charged with that violent felony. Even being IN a car with a gun places you in, what is called, "concurrent possession" of that gun.

Is unlawful use of a firearm considered violent or non violent?

It will only be considered violent if you point the gun at a person, attempt to fire the gun at a person, or shoot at a person. But first off, if you are using a gun unlawfully, you will already be fined significantly. As far as the law is concerned, any use of a firearm unlawfully will be considered violent, whether any of the above is done or not. Minor firearm offenses, such as improper transport methods in a car, are not.


Can you be charged with possession of a firearm if its not your car or firearm in Oklahoma. And had NO knowledge of the firearm being in the car Its my firearm and my car?

You can be CHARGED with it. However, the cops will most likely run routine license checks on the car, and will figure out whose car it actually is, and remove that charge. I hope for your sake that the person who's car it was gave you permission to use their car, or you will get a car theft charge as well ^^

Can you be charged if the firearm is not operational?

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.

Can a parolee own a dismantled gun which is missing pieces and cannot be fired?

Can he? Yes. He can also be charged with felony firearms and be sentence to five years of state prison or ten years of federal prison for being in close proximity of any component of a firearm, including discharged or undischarged rounds. For instance, I personally know a man who was convicted of felony firearms for being in possession of a dismantled pistol that was in a locked box in the locked trunk of his son's car, when neither he nor his son had the key to the locked box in their possession. He served four of five years.
