user9620: I recently heard about Owen's opening. 1. e4 b6 is the starting move which can transform into various lines. I am just curious about the traps (for both black and white) involved in this opening. I tried surfing on the internet but couldn't get any traps on this opening. So, are there any traps involved or not?

user1485: Owen's Defense is a bit passive, but quite solid opening, so there aren't that many traps to watch out for.
Here is a primitive one:
[FEN ""]
[Title "Owen's Defense"]
[Startply "5"]

1. e4 b6 2. Nf3 Bb7 3. Bc4?! Bxe4? (3... e6) 4. Bxf7+ Kxf7 5. Ng5+ Ke8 6. Nxe4

Black has lost their castling rights, so there must be some advantage for white. 
3. Bc4 isn't a good move, though. After 3... e6 the white bishop is awkwardly placed.

1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Bd3 f5 4. exf5 Bxg2 5. Qh5+ g6 6. fxg6 Nf6 7. gxh7+ Nxh5 8. Bg6++

One possible trap for black is in the Matinovsky gambit which starts with ... 3.f5.
