I served as a Pennsylvania Yankee in the War between the States and we didn't trust those Connecticut Yankees either... Everyone trusted our weapons though. Everyone who didn't have one made here wished they did.
Never have so few armed so many so well for so long.
Went to a military museum in Buenos Aires years ago. They had more weapons made in my state than I've seen displayed in my state.
Until 1918, Connecticut was the second largest producer of peaches in the country too.

I went to a shop in BA that had the most interesting collection of military paraphernalia - old old guns and other weapons, intricate uniforms, things a calvary would need, helmets - some that looked like they were worn by Otto von Bismark because they had metal crosses on the top. It was really fascinating.

So I assume that Georgia is the largest producer of peaches. You are right, there still are a lot of arms manufacturers in Conneticut. I don't understand why someone like Colt still stays there and manufactures when the state itself is so anti gun. Then again, there are a lot of firearms manufacturers in Illinois and they are a bunch of gun grabbers.
