Get your brother in law to shoot it for you.
Have it checked out by a competent gun smith.

Have it examined by a gunsmith.
Yes, you can shoot slugs out of a Charles Daly shotgun, provided it is designed for that purpose. Most smoothbore shotguns can fire slugs, but it's important to check if your specific model has a smooth barrel or is equipped with a rifled barrel for improved accuracy. Always consult the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to ensure safe usage and compatibility.
