Maybe it's not a goof. Hitchcock is a famous for his dark humor, and it's possible he decided to keep it in the film. Maybe the kid sees the gun, but instead of being scared, he simply plugs his ears. If you look at it this way, it's funny, and a bit twisted.
I found this little flub the first time I watched NBNW on DVD, on a big-screen TV. My wife got a good laugh out of it when I showed her. Also worth watching is the scene where the airplane crashes into the gasoline tanker. Ingenious use of miniatures and models for the special FX. Only way you can detect the cuts between miniatures and real-life is by watching the scene frame by frame.
@lesgrimshaw Theres a little boy in the background to the right of the blonde woman and he's wearing a blue jacket. He doesn't scream, but he plugs his ears before the gunshot. that's the goof up.
@dontmesswithsqacky 2nd table on the right. Blue striped shirt with hair parted on his left side. A few seconds before the gun shot, he sticks his fingers in his ears.
Maybe the kids parents were talking raunchy and he didn´t want to get scared for life, just so happes someone was also going to shoot someone. I say he was lucky
Haha, also it was funny when the one guy shot the other guy with the same blanks in the house later and the blonde lady walks out a minute or two later all calm asking 'What was that noise?" because it would have been REALLY LOUD like litteraly an explosion coming from the living room.

It's a well known goof up. Surprising it made it through the rushes and editing process. Possibly Hitch knew and deliberately left it in.

Probably used real blanks (dangerous) in gun. May have been location shot in South Dakota cafeteria, so Hitch only had limited time to do the scene.
