The feds called the manufacturer of his Liberty Gun Safe and got the passcode to get into it too. [More]
There’s a discussion going on at AR15.com.
They’re taking a beating on Twit…uh…X.
The company says there was an exculpatory warrant that explains its action.
That doesn’t explain why there was a “back door,” and why that’s a surprise to so many.

I sent them a message. Told them they are the Bud Light of gun safes, and that I hope they can make their sales quotas from the Deep State because patriotic Americans will no longer buy their products.
As I read, the Feds told Liberty that they had a warrant for the house. Liberty was not named in that warrant. Without requiring a subpoena (court authority) Liberty gave the Feds either a bypass code for the electronic lock, or the combination, if it was a dial lock.
Gun safe makers keep records of dial safe combinations by serial number.
A solution is to install a dial lock replacement kit like the one from Sergeant and Greenleaf, available on Amazon for about $120. This is resettable by the owner, so no one else has the combo.
This can replace (most) gun safe locks, whether dial or electronic.
I have no relationship with this product or Amazon.
