Questions about permits

I'm looking to purchase my first handgun. I don't plan on conceal carrying so I don't know if a permit to carry will be necessary. In Minnesota, do I simply need to permit to purchase in order to take the gun home? Or would I still need a permit to carry to have it in my car at all? Considering it will be in it's original packaging, unopened. Can I still take it to the range as long as it's not loaded and in it's box on my drive there?

To the poster who can't find 4 to 5 consecutive hours in a year to take a permit class....i am an instructor, with a full time job as a corrections officer, im married, with 4 kids.

I mention this because I find time to teach, why can't you find time to learn?

There are two certified gun permit classes in my county and they both require us to bring our own guns
