I would suggest go to localbitcoins.com and find a good seller for an online exchange or set up a face to face cash deal, nothings safer than that.

Nothing is safe in the crypto world my friend, this is the wild wild west. Now get the .45 and walk the road for some Bitcoin son. I recommend visiting localbitcoins.com

Bitfinex, bitstamp, coinbase, btc-e, etc
I am not sure that the safest way to buy bitcoin is from an exchange. By buying on an exchange you are risking that the exchange does not suddenly get "hacked" and/or decline to release your funds due to AML/KYC concerns (or a number of other reasons).

I would argue that buying/selling from a trusted member of the community would be safer plus you would probably get your bitcoin quicker.

...

I have bought in person at Starbucks (good neighborhoods), maybe four times.  My experiences have been excellent.

Buying in person for cash also has the virtue of being reasonably anonymous, fewer tracks...
