Private personal security firms exist, and are often used by celebrities, CEOs, and the like. Generally speaking, what you get with those services is just an armed dude who will follow you around and make sure that people keep a safe distance from you. He’ll get between you and anybody who may be approaching too aggressively, and will mostly just serve as a physical barrier, more than anything.
They will not take a bullet for you, though. While there’s an inherent risk of being attacked as part of the job, they’re not going to “get down Mr President” you. While they will do what they can to protect you, they’re not going to intentionally sacrifice themselves for you.
