We do it with knives all the time.

If I already have a gun, what do I need to grapple for?

Common but, inacurate though. Consider this, especially if you are a LEO...
The average distance that a LEO generally gets involved in a shooting is 21 feet. It takes the average male (not trained) 3 seconds to run 21 feet. Can you draw your holstered gun (or pocket knife for that matter) in 3 seconds? Oftentimes it becomes an attempt to draw your weapon during a scuffle. Not too easy if not practiced (or with practice).
Also, if one practices for possible "street" encounters, it is a smart idea to alwayss assume your enemy has a weapon and grapple with them in class - concealed and not concealed.
It will totally chane how you look at your game and how you approach a grappling encounter.
