Borrow? OK, noob protocol question: Is that legal, feasible, and/or socially acceptable?

Legal? Yes, as long as you have the actual miniature, then it can be played. The "card" can be any means of getting the accurate information. Some people who played Warhammer and other miniature games, have a tendency to have full stats on sheets of paper as quick reference.
Feasible? Depends on who has extras. If the people at the store only bring their squads and no reinforcements or only particular reinforcement, then it may be problematic. However, if someone, like the person I learned from, brought his minis for people to barrow, then it is more feasible.
Socially acceptable? I don't know but I constantly mug old ladies for mini money
Kidding... or am i??? But if you mean "If I ask, will I be made fun of?" No more so than anyone over the age of 18 bringing Boba Fett, Bounty Hunter to a game full of 8 year olds who think Ewoks are neat.
People forget miniatures all the time and people loan their stuff all the time. Its part of being a community for SWM. I can't speak for your store, your players, your coordinators, your shop owners, etc, but I can say that so far, as long as the game is played fairly and your teams are legal (by points and by miniatures), there should be no problem.
I hope that answers your question. You can raise this in the DCI/Tournament questions section for probably more input.
