Yes, but you're doing it backwards.
Start with a mobile-first mentality so your users on slow connections don't have to download the resources for the bigger site.

Use some javascript to detect for mobile onload and add a .mobile class to the body. Then in your media queries, place .mobile before every rule.

You can use javascript to decide on what device or resolution detected gets what styles or stylesheet(s). Since that is done onload, it wouldn;t happen dynamically, like when resizing a window.

So you're concerned that if someone shrinks their window down to 320px/480px wide, they'll see the mobile layout on a desktop?
- Yes. Not really concerned but I rather they have a non responsive experience.ArmandoEstrada

I actually have just been learning about this for a project I'm working on.
I don't think this answers your question, but I thought this guide was helpful:

Is it possible for media queries to kick in only on mobile devices and not on desktop? In other words, I don't want my site to scale down to the different device sizes when on desktop browsers. Tried to google and cant find answer...
