Why would you bother?

In any case, your question is based on a false premise.  Modern firearms
are very safe and engineered specifically to make accidental discharge
impossible to the extent that it is mechanically possible.  Obviously
they cannot protect against gross errors in judgement and handling by
the owner, which is the only way an "accidental discharge" will happen.
 And rudimentary competence and discipline can eliminate that problem.
