This is a sticky question. First of all, how much distance is there between the to of us? Second, do we have the weapons out already? Do I have a gun, but holstered, and he have a knife drawn? Or vise versa?

If he has a knife drawn, and I have a gun holstered, and he is within 5 feet of me, I am going to have to be moving back quick to draw my gun, or I don't have a chance. However, if we have our weapons at the ready, I'll take gun.

If it doesn't change what the other guy has, definately a gun!
It's handy far away, close up, wherever.
I think that if you are assuming that the knife is out of it's holder, then you have to also assume that the gun is.

That depends on if you are jumped by the knife wielder, or if it is more of a "competition" set up.

For self defense I'd think I'd choose the gun. Less people are willing to risk their chances against a firearm and hopefully the attacker would be more compliant.

care/maintenance/training,
legal aspect,
drawing/deployment,
court/consequences
all these should be taken into account.
