Popular gun safe manufacturer Liberty Safe has been struggling to respond to conservative backlash after it gave the FBI access to a customer’s safe as part of a probe into the customer’s participation in the Capitol riot.

Late Wednesday, the company announced that customers will have the option to erase data of their safe combinations and “take control of how their information is stored and protected.” Earlier in the day, Liberty Safe had explained that the FBI had produced a search warrant to the safe owned by Nathan Hughes, a 34-year-old Arkansas man charged with felony civil disorder in connection to the Jan. 6 riot.

Charlie Kirk is saying the owners are Liberal Obama supporters.

Looks like the heat is on.

Microsoft protected passwords of terrorists but the gun safe company won’t protect patriots.

Like someone said in an early post about this.

If they didn’t have the combo, they’d just break into it.

Tom Gresham advertised for them back when I was listening to his show. I wonder what his take is on this.

denounced the company as “an enemy to gun owners” and said it should have pushed back against the warrant. O


Agreed. and hopefully a lot of discussion on this will change things for the next time.

Use your outside voice.

LOL—about 10 years ago I wanted a Liberty safe but couldn’t afford it. So I got a Bighorn at 1/3 the price with the same ratings. I removed the digital keypad and replaced it with a “Sargent and Greenleaf” combination lock.

Liberty, you’re screwed now because leftists aren’t buying safes and you pissed off the people that do!

Well, they at least need to change their name since obviously nothing under their management vis “safe”

That’s on them. Safe company stabbed customers in the back on this one.
