I was just summoned for 6 months in Lawrence County. I explained to the judge that I was a full-time traveler, was 1300 miles away, etc., and asked to be excused. He said that since I reap the benefits of SD residency, I must also assume the responsibilities. He denied my request. On a subsequent call to my PMB provider, I was told "you should have called us first." At least in Lawrence County, I was told that they will routinely deny full-time travelers because they figure they have time and money on their hands. I wish I had known that beforehand and I would have been more careful. Beware of some of the other posts on this forum that make it seem like the courts will excuse you no questions asked. For me at least, nothing could be further from the truth. Speak with your PMB provider first. They will tell you exactly what to say, which is very different from what you might be inclined to say based on some of the other comments on this board.

Has anyone succeeded in obtaining a Gold or Enhanced CCW permit and then attempted to purchase a firearm at Cabela’s with a PMB address? Once they no longer need to run an ATF check, does Cabela’s care about your address? It seems like they can no longer make the argument that the ATF will crack down on them, since the ATF will have already approved any firearm purchase for me. My local sheriff’s office has accepted my Enhanced CCW permit application despite having a PMB. Assuming it goes through, I can test it out myself in 4-6 weeks. Mom & Pop stores are great and I’d rather do business with them, but Cabela’s is the only store I can find that has the the specific gun I’m looking for, and smaller stores are telling me new orders are taking 6 months to fill.
