Metro follows the law of the state they operate in. Based on that OC in VA would be ok.
VA amended their statutes to override an older Metro policy.
DC allows TRANSPORT on Metro. DC does not allow CARRY on Metro.
Transport means unloaded in a locked case.
IANAL.
It was actually Metro who requested that DC ban carry for permit holders in their system.

DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson Says Metro Requested Ban

When asked if the city was reviewing its ban, a Metro Police Department spokesman referred the*Free Beacon to D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D.).
Mendelson told the Free Beacon that the Council has no plans to change the law, and appeared to place the burden for that decision on the Metro system, known officially as the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
"There are no amendments to the law being considered at this time," said Mendelson in an email. "The law, as revised last fall, gives property owners the right to prohibit carrying on their premises. WMATA contacted the Council prior to our action on the legislation last fall to ask that their premises be off-limits to carrying. WMATA (busses, rail, etc.) was then added to the list. If we were to act to remove WMATA from the list, the effect would be unaffected."
