Oh, no...
... this sounds like yet another reason to plug at least rudimentary martial arts training.
Learn to move, and not be a target.
No, you won't block bullets.
But if you are used to moving laterally, backwards, even dropping under an attack, it should translate well to other encounters, such as gunfights.
As far as gaining distance, that tactic favors the better shot. Wild Bill Hickock used to get as close as possible, in order to unnerve his assailants. That worked better for him.
Situationally and individually dependent.
