I’m not sure that this is much of an improvement.
After more than 24 hours of being slaughtered on social media for giving the FBI an access code to one of its safes, Liberty Safe announced changes to its policies regarding storage of access codes and cooperation with law enforcement.
The manufacturer admitted Tuesday that it had provided an access code to the FBI on August 30, 2023 for a gun safe after “receiving proof of [a] valid warrant.” While Liberty Safe did not provide the name of the owner or the location of the safe, it’s generally believed that it was the safe of Nathan Hughes, an Arkansas man who attended protests at the U.S. Capitol and whose home and business were raided on August 30. The Hodgetwins, who say they are friends of Hughes, tweeted Monday that Hughes had been raided and arrested, and that Liberty Safe provided the FBI with an access code to his gun safe during the raid.
As video provided by the Hodgetwins shows, Hughes was at his business when the FBI rolled up. The gun safe was at his home, where the feds turned off his surveillance cameras and internet before handcuffing his girlfriend (who’d recently suffered a miscarriage) and holding her at gunpoint. While the feds had a search warrant, the specifics of the warrant aren’t known, and the available information shows that there wasn’t anyone else at the home who could possibly access the contents of the safe and harm the agents.
[. . .] Liberty’s newest statement gives some answers, but raises more questions and concerns. Their new tweet included the original statement with a banner labeling it as page one, then added two more graphics. For reference, here’s the original tweet:

Well Liberty, I’m researching everything you ever invested in and they will never be in this families homes!

I think the big concern is for people who already have Liberty gun safes – apparently lots of people do.

If I had one of those safes, It would be back on their floor! With a company like Liberty, who needs their product? A safe is not safe? When you screw your customer, who stays with that product? Would you define the word safe? Would you put your life on their word? I no longer trust banks, so guess where my money and possessions are! Pity the poor SOB that tries to get into my safe without a warrant! They’ll meet their creator to further discuss it! Liberty is banned from this residence!

Report: Liberty Safe Parent Company Donated Nearly Half a Million Dollars to Gun-Control Democrats
https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2023/09/07/report-liberty-safe-parent-company-donated-nearly-half-million-dollars-gun-control-democrats/
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk used a post on X to report that FEC filings show Liberty Safe’s parent company donated over $400,000 to gun-control Democrats.
Kirk posted:
Liberty Safe was sold to Monomoy Capital Partners in 2021, a liberal East Coast investment firm. I pulled the FEC reports on the company and found approximately $400,000 over the last 10 cycles of max donations to Democrats like: Raphael Warnock in GA John Fetterman in PA Mandela Barnes in WI Mark Kelly in AZ.
He added, “Liberty Safe’s current CEO, Justin Hillenbrand, was a founding partner of Monomoy and donated $4,600 to Obama for America.”

Nice try fella’s. It is my understanding that they are owned by a hedge-fund/private equity group, and the more I see about these folks, the sleazier they seem to be. Suck all the money out of good businesses, load them up with debt, and then dump a pig-in-a-poke on an unsuspecting public and watch them lose their shirt on the deal.
