No ineffective assistance of counsel where Defendant's trial counsel's decision to withdraw motion to suppress statement Defendant gave to police after invoking right to counsel but before being in police custody, and questioning was only at police station and only after Miranda warnings were given. Decision to withdraw motion was matter of trial strategy, as motion had very low probability of success. Felon-based firearm bans such as UUWF and AHC statutes do not violate second amendment.Defendant suffered no prejudice from having two convictions based on possessing two different guns where multiple indictment counts detailed various firearms and ammunition, and one-act, one-crime doctrine was not violated.(NEVILLE and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
