WILNER, Judge.
This case arises from the tragic death of Jordan Garris. In June, 1999, Jordan shot himself while playing with his father’s handgun. Jordan’s mother, petitioner here, seeks to hold the manufacturer of the handgun, respondent Sturm, Ruger & Co. (Sturm Ruger), liable for Jordan’s death. The Circuit Court for Baltimore City, by granting respondent’s motion for summary judgment, found no liability. A divided Court of Special Appeals affirmed. Halliday v.
