Would you step in front of a killer with a loaded gun in order to save the President of the United States? Why or why not?

Let me answer twice . . .
In an ideal world yes. Saving his life could be a wonderful thing for him and any one he could ever help to hope in the future.
In a realistic world no. It pains me to say that, but I think fear and self preservation would kick in. I may shout "look out" I may try to disarm the shooter if I am close enough. . . but as far as jumping in front of a shot, I would have a moment of thought that if I jumped in front of a gun it is very likely the bullet would simply kill us both. That moment of hesitation would likely give me pause.
I can't say enough how much I respect the secret service. They have the training to avoid that hesitation & deal with that situation.
I had the great honor of meeting a retired secret service member. He had a thankfully uneventful stay, yet I consider him a hero for what he could do and what he was willing to do.

He's only the President of the US. He isn't part of my family and I really don't think you could pay me enough money to protect the life of a politician, even one I admire.
Family, yes. I'd take a bullet for them, but not a President.
