MOTION TO SUPPRESS — WAIVER — ALLIED OFFENSES — FAILING TO DISCLOSE A CONCEALED HANDGUN: Defendant waived his Fifth-Amendment challenge regarding the officer's questioning where he failed to raise the issue in his motion to suppress. The trial court committed plain error by failing to merge the carrying-a-concealed-weapon and improper-handling convictions where the offenses were similar in import, committed at the same time, and committed with a single animus, where both offenses were based on defendant's failure to disclose a concealed handgun to the officer.
