Spoken by somebody that doesn’t have a clue what the laws and ordinances are in DC.

No firearms.

No collapsible batons.

Only certain types of pepper spray.

You can have a stun gun, however.

No knives with blades longer than 3 inches.

No switchblades.

Thanks for the list. However, I read elsewhere that CCW is allowed on the streets in DC, but not in certain buildings. Of course, no open carry.

Anyway, I favor Stun Guns and Bear Spray. There is also Hornet Spray you can find anywhere. It has a narrow fairly long spray. I'd bet that can't be fun to be on the receiving end.
