Two weeks does not a residency make. Most laws are structured that one must spend 50% +1 day in the state to establish residency. In the case of more than two states, the state where you spend the most time is your state of residency.
You also have to contend with THIS.

Sec. 178.11 Meaning of terms.
* * * * *
State of residence. The State in which an individual resides. An
individual resides in a State if he or she is present in a State with
the intention of making a home in that State. If an individual is on
active duty as a member of the Armed Forces, the individual's State of
residence is the State in which his or her permanent duty station is
located. An alien who is legally in the United States shall be
considered to be a resident of a State only if the alien is residing in
the State and has resided in the State for a period of at least 90 days
prior to the date of sale or delivery of a firearm. The following are
examples that illustrate this definition:
Example 1. A maintains a home in State X. A travels to State Y
on a hunting, fishing, business, or other type of trip. A does not
become a resident of State Y by reason of such trip.
Example 2. A is a U.S. citizen and maintains a home in State X
and a home in State Y. A resides in State X except for weekends or
the summer months of the year and in State Y for the weekends or the
summer months of the year. During the time that A actually resides
in State X, A is a resident of State X, and during the time that A
actually resides in State Y, A is a resident of State Y.
Example 3. A, an alien, travels on vacation or on a business
trip to State X. Regardless of the length of time A spends in State
X, A does not have a State of residence in State X. This is because
A does not have a home in State X at which he has resided for at
least 90 days.

It will be kinda hard to present a valid state issued identification during the purchase of a firearm in a state where you only spend two weeks. It takes longer than that to get a new DL and temporary IDs are not valid..
