Liberty Safe, "America's #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer," according to their website, issued a statement late Tuesday night confirming that they'd given the FBI an access code to a customer's gun safe in response to a request on August 30, 2023. That request came during a raid on the home of a man who'd attended a protest on January 6. The statement reads:
On August 30, 2023, Liberty Safe was contacted by the FBI requesting the access code to the safe of an individual for whom they had a warrant to search their property. Our company protocol is to provide access codes to law enforcement if a warrant

Liberty Safe Company is certainly misnamed.

OK, they are off of my list of possible new safes. Rotten pukes.

The problem here is, they could be in serious legal trouble denying the FBI access.
Or issue is a fraudulent, out of control, tyrannical federal government. While I am angry, too, Liberty safe could be locked down refusing such a request. We need to stop the Feds not a privately owned company.

watched the video...FBI rolled up to his home with 10 cars/suvs, AFTER they already had him in custody. If I had a safe from ANY company, I'd be checking to see how to delete/bypass ANY method they might have to offer access to anyone other than ME, regardless of "Reasons". What legitimate justification does any Law enforcement have to access any safe over a 2 year old "Trespassing" charge?

Why would I buy a safe, of any kind, from a company that can offer others a way to access my valuables? If they can provide that information to the government, it can be obtained by other malicious actors as well.

I'm always on the lookout for more secure gun storage options, but it will never be a Liberty safe. They shouldn't even HAVE a back door access, let alone give it to nazis.

The fact that they even have an access code that will be given up on warrant should be in bold letters on the front page of the owners manual. Then let people decide. I know my decision.
"Liberty" Safes used to be a big advertiser on conservative talk radio here decades ago.

At least when they are finished searching (planting evidence or stealing private property) they can re-lock the safe.
Usually law enforcement brings in a lock smith that drills out the lock, effectively 'breaking into' the safe disabling the locking system and rendering the safe OPEN from that point on.
Personally, though I abhor the invasion of privacy, I appreciate the fact that the safe is operable and not a heavy door stop.

Why did the Wraystapo need at least 6 heavily armed agents to arrest a Jan 6 protestor last week? A suspect not apparently charged with murder or assaulting undercover FBI agents disguised as protesters. Why the extensive search of his home by a caravan of agents? Doesn’t this type storm trooper action only apply to President Trump? Or Mr. Pillow, Mike Lindell? Doesn’t the FBI have the least bit of shame? Especially when 10,000 unvetted illegals are entering the US every week.
Only thing certain in this raid and opening of the safe is that the agents were not looking for evidence of millions in money transfers to Joe Biden and his family. And if by chance the FBI found evidence of foreign government bribes to Biden, they would destroy it. Sad times.

Did they ask for and receive a copy of the search warrant or did they just trust the FBI's saying they had one?

A good reason to buy a non-electronic safe for cash and to remove the serial number from your safe.

Is there a different access code for ever safe they sell or one access code for all of them.
In other words when they gave the Feds an access code can the feds now use it to open anyone's Liberty safe?

I guess this is an opportunity for another safe manufacturer to enter the market and allow the owners to change the combination.

Sounds like it's time for a name change.
Maybe the "Stalin and Lenin Safe Co" for truth in advertising...

Liberty Safe has no legal obligation to release safe combinations to any law enforcement agency. If the company itself was being searched legally via a warrant, then everything under roof and control would be open to inspection. In this case the safe was out of their control and under the roof of a private citizen. Liberty should have refused the request for an access code. The suspicion arises that Liberty was threatened with loss of government business and/or company executives lacked balls to say "no." If you own a Liberty Safe the contents are now open to a Democrat government bent on curtailing freedoms of the individual.

The video of his arrest and the raid on his home have my blood pressure rising. I try to pretend this is still the America I grew up in but reality keeps smacking me in the face. Obama and his evil cohorts did fundamentally transform America.

Screw Liberty Safe. I sent them an email. Told them there is no reason to provide a passcode to the feds because if there is a warrant, the feds can break open the safe.

Regarding Posts 14,15 and 16. I wish I had a safe with a manual combination lock. Liberty safes come with a manufacturer passcode that can be changed. I am not sure if the original code is different for every Liberty Safe. Once changed, I am sure a code in the owner’s manual can be entered to change the combination again.

No commercially made safes. Hide them like the Checks, Poles, Dutch, French, Belgians....etc, did.

One of several reasons that I bought a purely MECHANICAL lock type safe. NOTHING could make me take one with any sort of an electronic lock.

it's time to take the lustre off the Lily and bring the FBI down a few hundred notches
- hey!!! all you "good guys" in the FBI --- time for a shout of distant thunder for comrade garland from his worker bees letting him know "enough is enough!!!" and
- to get out of politics and start investigating the many, many communists within our own government

Look for someone to make some big bucks from offering and selling some sort of bypass to prevent the operation of Liberty Safe company's manufacturer's password/combination. This reminds me of Apple fighting the FBI in court for months several years ago to avoid sharing with the FBI any "backdoor" password access to Apple's iPhones.
