I just bought a Data Precision 2480R Bench DMM

Kirchhoffs law is of voltage and current. The voltage law basically states that all the voltage drops in a circuit is equal to the applied or source voltage. Kirchhoffs current law states that current through one node is equal to the sum of the branches of said node. Hard to explain without a diagram.

Looks like a nice multimeter :).
We had a handful of old Data Precision meters at my old college, but they weren't in use as we had some more modern 1980s/1990s era meters. Some were LED and some were Nixie tube.

That's not so bad, and will probably come in handy.

Ohm's Law isn't handy – it's pretty much essential.even if all you're doing is lighting up an LED, you need to understand and be able to use Ohm's Law.
Just remember the first form – V = IR – and the rest is trivial algebra.

First law: you eat what you cook
Second laws: what come in will exit
