So no firearms OR OC Spray allowed in the S.S. office?

If you are standing there at the door and he says you can't bring something in, you have two choices. Don't, or go ahead and try to bring it in, telling him he has no authority under law to do so. Let us know how that works out for you.

If you think that the Social Security office is going against the law, you can file a complaint with them or take them to court. Since they are not subject to WA State "Preemption" you'll have to rely on the federal system for any relief.

This is what I am asking. Is the security officer going against the law? Remember, O.C. Spray isn't restricted by federal law, as it is not a "dangerous weapon" - at least not dangerous under the definition of the United States Legislature.

My question is, what authority does the security officer have in enforcing this? I am asking because I truly want to know.

Does Congress allow U.S. Agencies the ability to create their own "rules", similar to that of the W.A.C.?

Yeah kind of. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
