If i was in my truck and someone pulled a gun on me at a traffic light, my foot would be on the pedal before you could blink!
I think escape in my vehicle would be Plan A. And I would hope that by some chance the BG would step in front of the vehicle to attempt to stop me. 
And don't forget to hit your horn to draw attention to the situation. BG's normally hate that. However, it's not always possible to keep an avenue of escape open at a stop light. For that reason, I have Plan B (aka: firearm). Now, that being said, since I'm female and all that jazz, I would never have engaged in conversation with them in the first place.
I think the situation turned out well and thanks for sharing. I love the comments and lessons learned that crop up in these discussions.
