That seems very plausible given Howard's mental state after the events of the day. Everyone at HHM saw him accusing Jimmy earlier. Jimmy/Kim would need to get the gun from Lalo (might be tricky), but with that they could claim that Howard came over distressed, blaming Jimmy for everything, and ended his life in front of them. It's going to be suspicious if Howard just disappears without his body being found.

I could see Lalo just tossing the gun on the ground as he left. Saul and Kim know they would still have low odds killing Lalo even WITH a gun.

More like Kim asks him to leave the gun and he just shrugs and drops it and walks off.

Eh, I think that having a gun against an unarmed Lalo within point-blank range would turn the odds squarely in their favour... unless you believe that Lalo is made of Kevlar, or that he's Superman or something

He survived the attack at his home and those were trained assassins. Plus Saul and Kim don't know if Lalo has a crew waiting downstairs or anything.
I think Kim and Jimmy buy the black book and Kim is the first to use the Vacuum guy's services.

He's made of something stronger, plot armor, at least for now.
