I believe this type of 'accidental shootings' would be lessened by an insurance policy or rider to homeowners insurance. To cover the liabilities involved with gun ownership. When an individual or home is covered an insurance company would try to lessen their own liability by assessing risk and applying mitigations.

Hope I have explained this correctly and well enough.
