SC politics briefing Zak Koeske, The State (Columbia, S.C.)
May 7 Welcome to your weekly South Carolina politics briefing, a newsletter curated by The State s politics and government team.

After a more than 12-hour debate, the Republican-controlled Senate Thursday voted mostly down party lines to pass a House-sponsored bill that would give concealed weapons permit holders the right to carry hand guns in the open.
The bill, which Senate Democrats criticized as a blatant ploy to assuage a minority of Republican voters, now returns to the House, which is likely to reject the Senate s changes, triggering a six-member joint panel to hammer out the differences.
