This only happens in "gun free zones" like NYC. In the rest of the U.S. a crook would be risking his life to try this.
Seems to happen a lot in Texas too. Or Alabama. Why are the armed citizen not firing back?

I think the robbers always risking their life everywhere they do action. There is always a chance to them even the place full of people. The robbers just point gun to the victim, tell to be quiet, and give what they want.

Because there are Jim Crow infringement taxes to be paid to be a legally, publicly armed citizen in those southern states. Violent criminals love the disarmed who can't/won't pay.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

apparently a 28 year old man was mugged last month in New York City.
he wanted to sell his bitcoin in person, when the buyer (which he met on Craigslist) turned out to be a robber and took his coins at gunpoint!
story at coindesk:
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-stolen-new-york-gunpoint-robbery/
selling bitcoin in person is not safe anymore, next time we should sell out coins in a public place with witnesses present!
His first mistake was craiglist.
If you use LocalBitcoins and use a person with a long history of successful transactions, in a public crowded place with cameras, I don't think there is any risk involved.

Interesting story. I agree LocalBitcoins are a better option, but i never really understood local btcs the whole point is a digital way so going someplace to exchange a digital good seems silly to me.

i can only think of traceability, and more privacy wanted, or because it is more practical for them, if you knows someone that sells bitcoin in your zone, i'm sure that you will deal with him instead of going through all the hassle of registration that are present online

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
