Nish, your scenario is not applicable because Chris would be aware that the Sheriff is tossing him the gun. If he is in a fight his guard is up and the Sheriff would yell a warning before tossing the gun.

The situation with Stiles is that a professional had told him "I'm not giving you a gun," then proceeds to remove the clip and toss the gun to an unsuspecting teenager. Stiles had no reason to suspect a gun was going to be tossed at him and he proceeded to be caught off guard and panicked accordingly.

Nobody is saying Stiles doesn't need to be trained. We're literally saying him not being able to catch the gun has no relation to him being able to use one.
