I plan on buying my brother's AR-15, would he get in trouble? Or both of us would get in trouble by owning and selling a AR-15? My brother is out of state.

It is a Smith & Wesson AR-15 5.56. So I have to go through an FFL. It will NOT go through.
Just turn yourself in bud.
But in seriousness, no matter if he is in or out of state it MUST be transferred through an FFL. This is a recent change in law but it's what must be followed.
If it is an HBAR / Heavy Barrel variant it is deemed a long gun and is not banned and it can be transferred (via FFL) to you. If it is anything but a Heavy Barrel, it is banned in Maryland and you may not possess it or bring it into Maryland (same goes for your brother). This only applies to AR pattern rifles in 5.56 / .223

If you are planning on bringing it into Merryland, it will have to have a "Heavy Barrel" if it is a .223/5.56 caliber. All other calibers are fine. As for going through an FFL, I'm not positive of that answer.
