Shooting Hitler

This question has some rather defined parameters. I was wondering if it was possible for a Wehrmacht officer to shoot Hitler at a briefing between the start of 1936 and the end of 1940. I don't mean there's a plan or premeditation or anything like that. He's there and for whatever reason he just takes out a pistol and shoots the Fuhrer on the spur of the moment. I know later, post bomb plot, sidearms weren't allowed in Hitler's presence. I was interested in the early years. What were the security protocols around Hitler?

Halder supposedly carried a pistol for just that but couldn't bring himself to do it:

While Halder opposed Hitler’s expanded war plans, like all officers he had taken a personal loyalty oath to Hitler. Thus, he felt unable to take direct action against the Führer. At one point, Halder thought the situation to be so desperate that he considered shooting Hitler himself.[9] A colonel close to Halder noted in his diary that "Amid tears, Halder had said for weeks that he had a pistol in his pocket every time he went to Emil [cover name for Hitler] in order to possibly gun him down."[9]
