Yeah. Always carry your munitions in unmarked (or not specifically marked) cases/boxes.
Freshman year we were carrying some of mpg's prop guns around from OC2 looking for a place to photograph them. I think we had them in a laundry basket buried within some towels to avoid exactly this sort of situation (or, since it was a few months past columbine, being shot by campus police)
