Well...Taco Bell employees aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, in my experience.
This guy carried a handgun concealed, most likely without a licence, let it be *seen* at work (where if the manager had seen it he would have been fired on the spot), and then took the first opportunity to show it off to his friends. If he lived in South Philly, and worked in Malvern, this was probably his first opportunity to shoot the handgun without cops crawling up his ass immediately. I doubt it occurred to him that he could take it to a *range* to show it off or practice..and if he was working at a Taco Bell he probably couldn't afford a range--or a gun that wasn't stolen, for that matter. We'll probably find out he had the gun less than a day or two.
He fired it into the ground (risking a ricochet in some random direction; a buried rock could make the bullet go *anywhere*)...and then begins blowing his buds away. We call this "poor impulse control".
I think the story about dosing his drink is total BS, concocted by his attorney to manufacture some "reasonable doubt", since it's 'way too late to prove anything forensically. If I found out a coworker was illegally armed, my first thought would not be: "Hey, let's get him high and go out in the woods!".
Of course, *they* were Taco Bell employees too...
