I applied my sticker right there on the dock. The guy that performed the inspection also stated that the "real Coast Guard" (his words, not mine) usually don't pull over boats with a current inspection sticker. I don't mind either way as I learned long ago to do things the legal way and not worry about getting stopped. It just makes the time on the water more enjoyable.
BTW...I'm sending off an email to the D.C. folks to try to verify the "flare gun is considered a handgun" comment. I'll post back when I get a response.
