All three of these deliberate choices have to be made before there can be an "accidental" shooting.

Agreed, however, none of those, nor all of those combined, will cause a firearm to discharge. The discharge of the firearm requires the additional action of the firing pin to strike the primer. There are many situations where that "could" happen accidentally. Some are definitely irresponsibility, but not all. Your point of irresponsible gun ownership cannot be understated either.

Theoretically yes, realistically no. It would take an all knowing, all foreseeing individual to prevent all accidents from happening to themselves. Accidents happen so fast you do not have time to think. They can happen when you do not foresee a situation.
I KNOW THIS!!!
