I imagine police officers are trained to have their guns drawn any time they enter a home where they cannot see the occupants.

There is not enough time to draw and shoot if the occupant runs out with his gun.

By the way, you are absolutely right about what it means to have a gun drawn: they are indicating that they are willing to kill. That's how they are trained.
