Guns that appear to be something other that a gun have been illegal (in the U.S., anyway) since 1934. Apparently, things other than guns that look like guns are not illegal under Federal law, but carrying them in public is stupid nonetheless.
In my State, carrying a "facsimile firearm" on your person, in public, is a misdemeanor. The cell phone case pictured in the article would definitely qualify. I'm really surprised that gun-paranoid California (where the photos were taken) doesn't have a similar law.
