If you are speaking of modern slugs even with a black powder charge behind it I would not, many of the slugs have a hollowed out conical design made to force the sides against the barrel or rifling, Most old black powder guns will not stand up to the pressure, and unless the barrel has no choke to it, a slug should not be fired from it at all. Patched round balls may be fired from muzzle loaders with no problems as long as there is no choke to the barrel.
all guns have to be owned by persons 18 plus. they must have adult supervision to hunt at 12 years old, this is in Ontario, Canada. I'm sure every state has different rules.
