There are laws about public in-person nudity. I'm sure if this guy were reading
Popular Mechanics and decided to take off his clothes, the same law about clothing would apply.
As for his displaying such distasteful trash in front of a minor, there is no law against that. The coverage you describe (shrink wrap, partially covered shelf) applies to selling the magazine.

A Mom's point of view? He is unlikely to understand a decent adult's point of view. Mothers don't own the market share on that. ^
