So if this bill is passed and become law I have a few questions...

1. Where will I be able to carry that Im not allowed to now?

2. It says it takes either 2/3 vote and become effective immediately or it will go into effect Sept 1st. Does that mean that this bill will become law regardless if it gets the votes or not?

I'm not sure what you're asking, but the bill still has to pass. Just like any bill, it must be passed out of committee in both the House and the Senate, be passed out of the Calendars Committee in the House, and be passed by majority vote on both second and third reading in both the House and the Senate.

Read the last paragraph on the last page of the bill.

I read it. That last paragraph is pretty standard language, and I think it's pretty clear. I'm still not sure what your question is--are you asking if the bill can become law without passing?

You seem to be trying to learn, however your generation gives me nightmares !

Yeah Im learning. I never got into politics until the Sen Frankenstein's AWB was introduced with all the other gun control legislation. Reading the laws in its natural text is like trying to read ancient Greek.

Here's a link to the text:

There is a small issue. On top of page 7, the phrase "of the same category as the handgun the person is carrying" needs to be deleted. It no longer applies, or will not after September 1st.

And on page 3, line 10... "section d" numbering is deleted, but they forgot to replace the "d" with a "b".
Otherwise... Perfection.

Standing by to make phone calls.

The "b" is there. It's back on page 2. They struck everything after (b) down through (d) on the next page.
