If it's a real, 1897 riot gun, I wouldn't do anything but put it in a locked case. If it's a commercial 1897 that has been modified to look like the WW1 trench gun, then yeah, slugs are great for bears. The trench gun is fairly rare and expensive, hence very common to find fakes. Norinco also made a fairly credible copy of it for several years.
