I've had people walk up to my car at Austin intersections numerous times and not felt threatened. If I felt threatened, other than make sure my weapon was ready for quick deployment as a precaution --as you did-- I'm not sure what I'd do, since I wasn't there to read all the signals. In all cases I'd be looking at their hands and checking them over for weapons and I'd scrutinize them even more carefully at night. However, in your case, at the point I felt sufficiently threatened, I would probably check the intersection clear and run the light rather than wait around and maybe have to use my gun.
