Just saw this thread, a couple of months ago I wanted to buy some Bitcoin and wasn't really safe with these online methods that seemed complicated to me...

I looked up and found this website : http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-atm-map/ where you can easily locate a Bitcoin ATM near you.

Went up to a Bitcoin ATM on my way home from work, I scanned my wallet bar code on my iPhone, inserted money into the machine and got my Bitcoins credited right away.

Bitcoin rates differ from a place to another but it is usually the actual rate + 4% fees.

Easiest and safest way to buy Bitcoin for sure,

Hope this helps,
