Among many other locations, at which had I had no issue, I OC'd to Old Glory in Georgetown. One of their bouncers said, pointing at the device on my belt, "I can't let you in there with that." I replied "what am I supposed to do with it?" He said, "don't worry, I will hold it for you." Here's the part where I would have normally said "Ok, I'll go somewhere else." However, because I was with a bachelor party and didn't want to diss the bachelor, I obliged and handed it over.
As I walked out the door with the rest of the group, he had it in his hand and gave it right over to me.
Having re-re-re-re-reviewed DC law again; I wonder now whether the knife, a folding/locking pocket/pen knife, that I was carrying would have rendered me in violation of the current revision of:
§ 22-4504(a) No person shall carry within the District of Columbia either openly or concealed on or about their person, a pistol, without a license issued pursuant to District of Columbia law, or any deadly or dangerous weapon capable of being so concealed.
Certainly it's my inalienable right to carry such a device, but you know DC...
