I am not sure what your question is. If you were non union, not a civil servant, and with no written contract to work then you were at will.
An employer needs no reason to fire an at will employee.
It does not sound like you committed gross misconduct. You were fired. You apparently did not threaten anyone. Nor were you insubordinate? Apply honestly for unemployment benefits and tell them what happened. Your old employer, assuming you were a good worker, will probably rehire you. I am not sure who or how much an employers premiums for unemployment go up for claims but either this employer or your last one would be able to challenge unemployment. And the easiest successful way for your old employer to do that would be to rehire you. Good luck!
