Compiling the list just for fun.

Starting with WWII era, "shot at" limited to military
situations

FDR No
Truman Sorta yes, but I will say No


SNIPS

Curious as to your reasoning process on Truman. IIRC artillery company
commander in WW I, with a Missouri NG unit. No idea if his battery came
under fire. I _ think_ his unit did fire on German positions, but no idea
if fired back upon.

Have you any more data on Truman's experienceds in WW I? Why conclude
as you did?

JFK Yes ( but mostly rammed )
LBJ Yes ( but pretty much bogus )
