Liberty Safe Confirms They Gave Feds Access Code to Gun Safe During Raid on January 6 Protester
Red State ^ | 9/6/23 | Jennifer Van Laar

Posted on 09/06/2023 4:40:38 AM PDT by CFW

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 grants them access to a property. After receiving the request, we received proof of the valid warrant, and only then did we provide them with an access code. Liberty Safe had no knowledge of any of the details surrounding the investigation at the time.

Liberty Safe is devoted to protecting the personal property and 2nd amendment rights of our customers and has repeatedly denied requests for access codes without a warrant in the past. We do not give out combinations without proper legal documentation being provided by authorities.

So he has a gu case with guns- big deal- he didn’t shoot anyone nor was he gonna do so! You onow who did shoot so eone though? Yep, Capitol police- shot an unarmed woman to death. You know who e,se has shot people? Antifa and blm! They shot cops and maga supporters to death. You know who didn’t bring guns to the protest with the intention of using them? Yup, MAGA supporters. Th e left however brought guns WITH THE INTENTION of using them... on unarmed protestors evidently.

How many stories of maga supporters shooting someone have there been in the last decade? Zip- zero! Yet anTifa and blm and leftist ilk have murdered numerous people

Why would anyone think that they would have a safe that the FBI, with a proper warrant, would NOT be able to get into? Why bother trying? Just open it up, and avoid the obstruction charge.

If you’re a criminal and you think the safe is going to keep your actions hidden from actively investigating authorities, then you’re a moron that deserves what’s going to happen.

A safe is really only for keeping things secure from random everyday risks - like small fires, children, stoopid in-laws, etc.

This is a different FIB. They will “find” something in the safe that is a federal crime.

The warrant was not for Liberty and they should not volunteer help. If they were served with a warrant or subpoena then maybe they should have cooperated but otherwise pound sand.

“Keep your firearms in a safe.”

C’mon, man.

“Gaslighting”

Don’t be a fool. Any bona fide security expert will tell you that primary safes are good for one thing:

Diversion.

Marketing & gaslighting are highly effective tools, aren’t they?

It sounds like itā€™s easier to get into a gun safe than it is to get into an iPhoneā€¦

If a person has drawn the interest of this “different FBI”, then they have bigger issues.

I’m actually more concerned for the knee-jerk reactions to fear-porn articles like this. Makes me wonder just what kind of folks would be so panicked by the realization that legal authorities with proper constitutional warrants can actually do their jobs.

Damn. And I was lookin’ at Liberty safes to ... keep my baseball cards in. Guess it’s not going to be a Liberty safe.

The search warrant gives the FBI the right to enter the safe. It does not compel a private company to assist them in doing so. Thatā€™s akin to showing a construction company your warranty and telling them to use their tools to open it for you. Liberty Safe was not a party to that warrant. Period.

Yeah and if you aren’t doing anything wrong why do you need any privacy or security at all? Anyone that thinks it’s a problem to have backdoor has to be up to no good.

Looks to me like we have a troll amongst us. I see you signed up Jan. 6 of this year. Itā€™s pretty obviousā€¦

Maybe. But the safe was his property and apparently part of the warrant. Itā€™s a tough question and maybe a vendor with more balls would have taken your stance.
