Just so we are clear.
The AK is in his name and not considered to be a banned weapon in his state. All they require in his state (If a transfer were to take place, is a paper trail between the assignee and assignor. No FFL, nothing. Just a "I transferred this weapon to joe schmoe" note, which each hold onto.
So I cant borrow his non banned weapon in his non ban state, drive it through Md and into another non banned state and shoot it? Correct?
This situation seems a little contrived, however I will play.
IANAL
The situation you described seems like you would be protected under FOPA, provided there are no laws preventing you, an out of state resident, borrowing his firearm AND it is not banned where you will be using it AND this is not a permanent change of ownership AND it is not subject to NFA.
IF any one of those conditions are not met then it is illegal due to interstate transfer laws/nfa/state restrictions.
That said, most LEOs, and judges (and regular people, myself included) would be suspicious of a "loaned" firearm which is then driven out of state for use in another state. It sounds very much like interstate commerce and/or weapons trafficking because: why didn't you just use the gun with your friend in his state.
