He carried an illegal handgun in one of the worse states to do so and they will try and screw him , the guy could have very well killed someone he's lucky he didn't he's very lucky he didn't injure himself to the point he couldn't play his chosen sport
He's not the brightest guy in the world , if you're going to carry illegally DON'T stick it your waist band on loose fitting pants and don't carry with one in the chamber without a holster
Now you could argue he needed it for protection because he's a high profile guy and could get attacked , if that's the case I suggest avoiding places where you are a target and get some fucking firearms safety training and seeing the guy is wealthy if he was that concerned about his safety he could hire security , either way he fucked up and he's going to pay for his stupidity
should the guy do serious time? NO but he shouldn't walk away Scot-free because the rest of us wouldn't
