This is alarming, quite alarming. [H/T Collin Rugg] In a recent J6 case it has been revealed that Liberty Safe Co. gave the FBI background access codes to the safe and vault owned by the investigative target of the FBI, Nathan Hughes.
As the story is told, the FBI (federal govt) contacted the safe manufacturer and asked for a secret code that would open the safe. The FBI had a search warrant for the premises. Liberty Safe Co. gave the FBI the access code that would allow them to open the safe, without relying on (or asking) the owner to open it.
This is alarming on a few levels. First, why does Liberty even hold an override code for their safes. Second, why didn’t Liberty just tell the FBI they do not own the safe, therefore the issue of compliance is between the owner and the FBI?
Liberty Safe Co. responded:
This is a ridiculous position easily avoided by saying, “we don’t own the safe.” The bottom line is to avoid all the Liberty Safe products that allow them to access your private holdings, including gun safes and personal papers. If you own a Liberty Safe, just get rid of it. It’s compromised. Write it off to a lesson learned and forget about it.
I have nothing to comment about.
Readers just don’t know what to do with a story in CTH that doesn’t bash Ron DeSantis.
Good point. Ron DeSantis sucks.
That company’s executives will be richly rewarded for this act of treachery.
Another “private equity” will buy the remains from the current owners (who will use the loss to offset other ill-gotten gains), ship the jobs overseas, pay big bonuses to the execs.
Liberty Safe is owned by Monony Capital Partners, an investment firm that donates exclusively to democrats,
It looks like they were acquired by Monony in 2021.
One other interesting tidbit – the comany President and CEO’s name is Joe Fail. It looks like he exemplifies his name.
I’m sure that it’s already been mentioned here but those that may be concerned with this travesty can look into replacing the lock / locking mechanism of their safe (whether it’s electronic or mechanical).
Liberty Safe OWNERS SHOULD TRADE THEM WITH EACH OTHER!!!!….and NOT tell the company. Then the “break-in” codes they have on file and give to FBI, etc., will not MATCH.
Problem Solved.
🙂
The company uses the safe’s serial number to retrieve the access code. Remove the serial number plate, no way to get the code. A lot easier than switching safes.
We now have the Bud Light of gun safes. May it’s demise be swift.
Sad, but true. Another one bites the dust. Many companies are showing how gutless they are, but that highlights the ones that do at least push back (X among them).
Folks, for those that seem to trust all that’s digital. What is it that you don’t understand about digitally made products? Did no one inform you that anything digital, no matter how safe they may make it, can constantly be hacked? Or, in this case, stolen. How did you not know this? It’s simple common sense, too!
Just wait till digital cash rolls out. It will be sooner than you think. Imagine buying ammo with your digital cash. Oh wait, that won’t happen, and if it does, how will you remove your purchase from the digital record?
Folks, where is your thinking cap? Why would you trust a company that says: Trust us to keep your guns, your 2nd amendment and God-given right of self-protection, your trust? Did you not for one-second question this decision to purchase this con service?
Are you really this gullible?
Nothing, NOTHING digital can be trusted!
Your gym locker in high school was safer. Why? Because the combination was in your head, that safest spot on the earth.
No one can hack the QFS Quatum financial system
My guns keep me safe, not the other way around.
Liberals at Apple held out longer on teaching the government to hack their phones than Liberty Safe’s did.
And Apple is a satanic co. Have you ever wondered what the apple w/the bite taken out represents@ Well jsuk it represents the down fall of Adam & Eve!!!
Why would anyone buy a “safe” that non-owners can get into?
How did the FBI become aware that this man owned a Liberty Safe? Did they gain access to his house f before they got the warrant?
in Cali, when purchasing a gun, two of the questions 1) do you own a gun safe 2) what brand
You just say no to both questions and they sell you a $3.00 trigger lock and off you go.
No need to get rid of your safe , just change the combination or have it done by a locksmith .
Call a locksmith and have a new lock system installed. One with a dial like a Greenleaf lock. An older dial one with 4 diget changeable combinations. No back door for them.
THIS. Or do it yourself – operating/installation instructions are available from lock manufacturers. Read the instructions, watch some videos, and determine for yourself if you are up to it.
The answer to the second question is easy: You don’t tell the Gestapo “no.”

It would be cheaper to buy a mechanical Sargent and Greenleaf replacement lock for $150 and change out the lock.
Hey, think about it. Don’t get rid of your Liberty safe because of this incident. If you bought the safe because you liked it, keep the safe. To make the safe “secure” go talk to your local locksmith; who is also likely a gunsmith (the mechanisms are comparable in size and complexity and use many interchangeable tools). My neighbor is having the digital safe lock completely removed and is paying $70.00 for a new lock for his Liberty Gun Safe and $50 for the locksmith to make a “house call” to install it. Don’t let this garbage stunt by the present Marxist leadership of Liberty give you high blood pressure. Think up a number you won’t forget and have a good combination lock mechanism installed.
Liberty, liberty, liberty.
Backdoor code, backdoor code, backdoor code.
