Incidents

Providing Master Key To The FBI

On August 30th, 2023 Liberty Safe was contacted by the FBI, asking for a code to access an individual's safe. The FBI provided a warrant, however there was no mention of a subpoena. Liberty Safe provided the FBI with a 'Master Code' which allowed them to open the safe. When information of this became public, the firearms community voiced their criticisms, and one customer even cancelled their order.

Company response

After significant backlash, Liberty Safe made a post on X (formerly Twitter) on September 6th, 2023, announcing policy changes that now require a subpoena before giving a master code to law enforcement. They also introduced a way for customers to reset or delete their recovery code. Either option removes the code from the company database, making it inaccessible to Liberty Safe.
