Ha. Yes, I've heard that any NRA stickers get you the second look as well.

I had one guy years ago, U.S. Customs southbound, look at my M151A2 as I
crossed into U.S. Territory and tell me:

"You know it's illegal to license those in Washington State..."

I nodded, and reminded him it was licensed in Canada.

"Yeah. I know. I was only sayin' because I've got one in my garage."

It certainly made *my* day! :)
