From all the crime committed in insane and senseless ways I wouldn't put it past anyone these days. In particular gang members. They could have friends laying in wait in the back of a car or already there in another car. Using basic common sense would take those possibilities into consideration and choose a spot that would ward off such possibilities. Like someone else said choose to meet a police station and take their temperature. If they're willing to do that you know it's good.Try to think logically, why would a criminal try to target and rob someone they know has guns and wouldn't be easy? People that target/rob people usually pretend to be selling stuff like phones and such so that they can rob for cash and don't want victims defending themselves. I think your paranoia is getting the best of you, you are the exact opposite of the type of person that a criminal wants to target.
