🚨 Last week, a friend of ours was raided by the feds over J6, his name is Nathan Hughes and he’s from Fayetteville, Arkansas. Nate was raided by the FBI and arrested at gun point. His girlfriend (who just had a miscarriage) was held at gun point and put in handcuffs. The FBI… pic.twitter.com/LOpMQ28eUJ

Liberty Safe willfully granted the FBI backdoor access to one of its customers’ gun safes because the federal law enforcement agency demanded it.

“The feds called the manufacturer of his Liberty Gun Safe and got the passcode to get into it too. All for protesting at the Capitol over 2 1/2 years ago,” conservative YouTubers the Hodge Twins alleged in a post on X on Monday. …

Liberty confirmed on Tuesday that it gave the disgraced federal law enforcement agency a combination to break into Hughes’ gun safe simply because the FBI produced a warrant to search Hughes’ home.

[I worked in burg/fire security for nearly 20 years, 15+ of that in management, and Liberty Safe made a very large mistake. On a number of occasions, law enforcement requested confidential information, and I would cooperate under two conditions: either permission of the customer in writing or a specific warrant or subpoena for that information. LEOs completely understood that and would get me what I needed to comply. I *never* revealed any customer data without either that customer’s permission or the specific warrant/subpoena, because IT WASN’T MINE TO GIVE otherwise. It probably wouldn’t have taken long for the FBI to seek and receive a specific warrant for the combo, at which point Liberty Safe would have been compelled to comply and blameless in doing so.

And of course, that leads to the question of why Liberty Safe keeps master codes at all, especially for safes that include hard keys as an alternate form of access. I suspect their customers will be asking that question too — those customers that remain, anyway. — Ed]
