A couple of years ago they amended this to make it even stronger -- IIRC 
to prevent employers from being able to ask, search, or retaliate 
against folks over exercising this right.  (My former employer was one 
of those, incidently)

There are some exceptions -- notably including school property (I'm 
kinda shocked DeSantis hasn't added this to his "parental rights 
WRRRGRBL!!!11" platform yet) and the usual hazardous environments and so 
forth.

It's worth mentioning that it's an affirmative defense, not something 
that would necessarily prevent local law enforcement from trying to make 
an example of you, should you give them probable cause [1].

Also, that federal law doesn't cover overnight stays along the way.  
Hotels can tell you "no firearms" even when local laws allow it, but 
there's not usually any way they can enforce it, beyond asking you to 
leave.

But realistically, since all of this is within the Gun^H^H^HBible belt, 
you're gonna be fine.  FFS, GA made permitless carry legal a month ago. :)

[1] IIRC in South Carolina the highway patrol can pull you over for 
    "suspiciously driving the speed limit" -- because it turned out that 
    just about the only ones _not_ speeding were the drug mules...
