One of those other 20/20 hindsight kinda things: when pulling up to stop signs and lights, try to be in an outside lane, either next to the side of the road (if there is room there) or next to the oncoming lane, and leave enough room that you can drive away if some carjacker, robber, terrorist (in some locales) or pinhead with an umbrella suddenly makes a move. I would not be shy about driving on the side of the road or in the oncoming lane (obstacles and traffic permitting) to get away from a clown like that.
Your phone went flying, but apparently your gun did not -- that's good, you apparently had it secured. I have read some people put on the seat, but it probably would have joined your phone in its hiding place if you hadn't had it secured.
Great job overall.
