Wait, I'm a liberal yuppie.
My answer: Disarm and disable. Separating someone from a knife is actually very simple, and once you've gotten the knife not only are they not armed, but they know you are and you're capable. Worst case? After I take his knife, he continues to attack and I have to put him in some basic lock (preferably knocked out but not otherwise injured).
I could shoot him, in this scenario, but then I will have killed someone. That doesn't sit right with me.
