Hey Norm,
Here is some info. for next year if you decide to go...
The hotel's parking garage seemed to have limited vertical height clearances...maybe for a big SUV only. The garage is not very secure. You go through a pay booth (automated only). Folks from the streets can easily walk through the garage...at any time. I did not seem any CCTV cameras throughout the garage, either.
The parking lot directly across the street is well-lit at night and is on a busy street during the day. You would probably be okay there. This seemed to be a nice part of downtown.
Take your lugers into the show for display during the day and sleep with a loaded luger at night...if you need to feel a bit more safe.
Most of the NAPCA folks left all of their pistol displays in the convention hall overnight. NAPCA had hired a bonded security co. to stay in the hall all night after the doors were closed. No one seemed worried about leaving everything on the tables. Even the smallest tools and accessories were left. This included the very pricey collections of the three Navy Cabal guys...(i.e. the Navy 3-Amigos... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> )
