Law enforcement has to train on this very issue so they respect things like distance. There's a lot of situations a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL can get stabbed to death from a decent distance by just some guy with a knife who is possibly on drugs. Drawing your side arm and being able to use it in time is fairly difficult. Some rando who just got a gun isn't doing anywhere near that well either. You'd have to have it already prepared to shoot.

That is a very stark reality. Ever wonder why these guys get kind of twitchy in certain situations? That's one of many similar reasons. Things can turn fast, and even training can only do so much.
