That doesn't matter because a drivers license does not mean you are a resident of that state. And residency is not declared or arbitrarily chosen, it is established. The question is not can you buy a gun in another state, the question is can you be prosecuted for violating CA PC27585 - a felony if the firearm is a handgun - when you come back to CA with them.
Another question is can you be prosecuted by the Feds for perjury/making false statements to a FFL when you sign the 4473, in violation of 18 USC 922(a)(6).
