He should hire an attorney.
Based on the limited facts that you've provided, your daughter's father should be able to get a better plea bargain than 7 years of penitentiary time. Does he have a valid FOID card? Where was the gun recovered? These are some of the questions that need to be looked into. There are many issues presented in this case that could be argued or used to negotiate a lesser sentence. He should do what he can to hire an attorney that will give your daughter's father's case the time it deserves. Especially when jail time is a consideration, you cannot afford not to hire an attorney.
good luck
