#3 because he wasn’t used to guns ‐ really, that was not his forte

"Very little was, in fact", piped in his cousin while chewing on a cigar from the kitchen.

#4 Let me see if I got this straight. The guy was bothered by petty theft (possibly imaginary). So he sets lethal traps. And his family, who knew about it, kept mum until he whacked himself by walking into one.
And, since it's Maine, we can't even make jokes about inbred hillbillies.

#5 You shouldn't set lethal traps in your own dwelling after age 60. You might 'biden' into one.

#6 You can always make jokes about inbred hillbillies.
