No no, he is being totally 100% honest. he would not use self defense. He has zero need for self defense because he has an armed personal security force.

With most votes counted Sunday night, Macron had 27% and Le Pen had just over 24%. Hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon was third, missing out on the two-candidate runoff, with close to 21%.
