The footage was taken on Saturday at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas where tens of thousands of Second Amendment enthusiasts gathered.
In the video, a four-year-old called Maverick proudly showed off his skills to hunter and gun advocate Kendall Jones at the Bergara rifle stand where he demonstrated on an unloaded gun.
Jones described him as 'parenting done right' and applauded his efforts as 'adorable'.

'Do it again!' she encouraged him. Later, she told him: 'Take the magazine out' which he obeyed.
'Can you put it back in?' she went on playfully.
