DC isn't VA,I'd do a thorough check of our laws before carrying anything that is specifically designed as a weapon.
I carry a metal baton that's shaped kind of like the letter D,only with a elongated loop. As an added bonus,it can be separated into two parts with a key,and can actually be used to secure my bike to something. No one ever suspects what it's really for.
