Liberty Safe, a gun safe manufacturer, faced intense criticism in September 2023 after it acknowledged that it had voluntarily given the FBI the access code to a safe in connection with a search warrant for an unspecified property. The case sparked a backlash against the company, with conservative commentators and gun owners attacking Liberty Safe and even calling for a boycott. The Missouri attorney general is now accusing the company of not being honest and transparent with its customers about the sharing of their safes code information with third parties. Several legal experts said Liberty Safe was under no obligation to hand over the code because the safe was not company property and the company was not the target of the search warrant. Liberty Safe initially defended itself saying that their "company protocol is to provide access codes to law enforcement if a warrant grants them access to property". However, the company later revised its policies, pledging only to give federal officials access to customers safes after receiving a subpoena, instead of a warrant. The company also said that its customers will now be able to have the records of their safe combinations "expunged".
