So i will be going to DC for a couple of days and am bummed out that i cannot carry over there. I was thinking about bringing my folding knife which is less than 3 inches as some form of backup. I remember reading that carrying a knife is allowed as long it isnt like a switch blade. Can anyone verify this?

I think DC has a law against carrying anything that could potentially be useful.

It looks like you might be OK, but as usual, there is some debate: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?p=442094

Note that there is a link to the actual law buried in there.
