Fringe benefits of permit to carry?

Besides giving you the option to carry a pistol, what else does a permit to carry allow you to do that you would otherwise not be able to do (legally)?

For example: You can buy an "assualt" style weapon with a ptc.

Carry a long gun in public (see MN 624.7181).
Transport a loaded handgun in your vehicle (edited for correctness)

The way I read 97B.045, with a carry permit, handguns may be carried loaded in a vehicle, not rifles or shotguns.

Your reading is correct. I should have been more clear... I'll edit my original post.
Thanks!

Can anyone explain this a little bit clearer for me. How I read it is, that "Carry" does not include long guns. Thanks CCIC

MN 624.7181 allows a permit holder to carry a long gun under MN 624.714. Read subdivision 1-b-3 (bolded in the quote below)

https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/sta ... d=624.7181

624.7181 RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS IN PUBLIC PLACES.

Subdivision 1.Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings given them.
(a) "BB gun" means a device that fires or ejects a shot measuring .18 of an inch or less in diameter.

(b) "Carry" does not include:

(1) the carrying of a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun to, from, or at a place where firearms are repaired, bought, sold, traded, or displayed, or where hunting, target shooting, or other lawful activity involving firearms occurs, or at funerals, parades, or other lawful ceremonies;

(2) the carrying by a person of a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun that is unloaded and in a gun case expressly made to contain a firearm, if the case fully encloses the firearm by being zipped, snapped, buckled, tied, or otherwise fastened, and no portion of the firearm is exposed;

(3) the carrying of a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun by a person who has a permit under section 624.714;
