Liberty Safe, the trusted gun safe manufacturer, is under fire from gun rights advocates for their recent cooperation with the FBI. The company came forward and admitted that they unlocked a gun safe at the request of the FBI, igniting a storm of criticism. However, Liberty Safe firmly states that they only provided access to the safe after verifying the validity of the warrant.
In a public statement, Liberty Safe emphasized their commitment to their customers’ rights and safety. They explained that their company protocol aligns with the law, which allows them to grant access to law enforcement if a valid warrant is presented. Moreover, Liberty Safe has a history of denying access codes without proper legal documentation, ensuring that they do not compromise their customers’ personal property and Second Amendment rights.
Despite their unwavering dedication to their customers and the law, Liberty Safe faced an overwhelming backlash from the gun rights community. The company received such a barrage of negative comments that they had to restrict replies to their post on X, formerly known as Twitter. Similarly, their Facebook account was flooded with critical remarks, with one user even suggesting the downfall of the company, comparing it to the fate of Kmart and Sears.
This backlash against Liberty Safe illustrates the deeply passionate and polarized nature of the gun rights debate in the country. While some may argue that the company should have stood firm against the FBI’s request, others may recognize the obligation to cooperate with law enforcement when presented with a valid warrant. Enterprising as always, Liberty Safe took appropriate steps to verify the warrant before granting access, showing a responsible approach to balancing the rights of their customers and the demands of law enforcement.
