I don't know a lot about guns, but isn't that a good way to get disarmed and shot with your own weapon???

It's a good way to get shot trying to grab a weapon pointed that close to your face. Even with great practice it is still no guarantee.

Not to mention there's way more armed people there ready to respond

Not suggesting it's wise to take the gun, suggesting it's unwise to brandish at that range.

It's ICE. They aren't known for putting stat points into wisdom.

If John Wick is the one staring down the barrel, yes. Otherwise, if the aggressor is backed by a hoarde of pigs, you're gonna have a bad time.
