When the judge says pap could be reformed with a shotgun in "Huckleberry Finn," he means that pap's negative behavior might be permanently altered if he were to face a dramatic and extreme intervention, like being threatened or punished with a shotgun. The judge is pointing out pap's deeply ingrained flaws and suggesting that they may require a severe method to address.
