If the person is wielding a firearm and is truly as "skilled" as you've described, then I will be long dead before I can rack a slide, pump a shotgun, pull a charging handle or close a bolt on a hunting rifle. Thereby the only sensible firearm to 'defend myself' with would be a revolver, because they're in 'safe' mode with the cylinder locked in place. Sure, it'd be double action but it's be damned faster than anything else.
If they have a melee weapon, even a revolver might not be enough. Any skilled martial artist could close the 15 foot window in 1-2 seconds, enough time for one, maybe two shots. That's no guarantee that the rounds would have the stopping power necessary.
All things above considered, I'd just run away.
