Just for clarity (not to bust anyone’s chops), his name was
“Turner Kirkland.”
Just in case anyone is trying to do a search.
Dixie Gun Works has kind of a fun origin story, too:

I’ve been there twice. It’s pretty cool, but the building (and perhaps the business?) are kind of “past their prime.” The leaky roof on the huge showroom was kind of a heartbreaker.
Incredible collection on display!
