Guns need some ability to handle properly and I stand a much better chance to feed them it than if they had a knife.

That must be why the world's armies and police forces are massively dropping firearms in favor of knifes. Oh, wait.
To kill someone with a knife requires you to be very close to the person, as well as be fairly strong, competent or just plain lucky (bones will stop a knife quite a bit more easily than they will stop a bullet).
Also, keep in mind that running from someone with a knife will have a rather higher success rate than running from someone with a gun.
