Theres this really weird airport in my area called Crows landing. Its

through it?

Navigation landmark and emergency purposes.


Are you allowed to do that? Land at an airport that is charted as
"closed"? As long as the runways are in good condition (which they
are), is it OK to land there?

No.

Can the FAA bust you for any violation
for doing something like that?

Yup.

I thought you were a CFI?

Depends! If the airport is an active airport that is
closed...repairs, what ever. Don't use it.

If it's abandoned it then depends on who owns it and what the local
and/or state ordinances say.

You can use a closed/abandoned airport at your own risk and most
likely your insurance isn't valid there.
