Being proficient in only the use of a gun means several things:
1) Unless you're attacked in such a way that your life is immediately in mortal danger, you cannot use your training to end the situation. In other words, you can only shoot someone if they're about to kill you.
2) If you are surprised by an attacker who is using a knife or gun against you (i.e. you didn't have time to draw your own weapon) you are now officially screwed because you never bothered to learn gun/knife disarms.
3) If your attacker is trained in H2H combat, you may very well lose the gun, therefore eliminating all advantages of your gun training.
4) If your gun jams, your bullets get wet and don't fire, or anything else happens that prevents the gun from shooting, you are screwed because all you know how to do is shoot.
IMHO people who get weapons and do not learn H2H combat are setting themselves up for disaster.
