I have a 12 gauge shot gun with a barrel threaded for choke tubes. Can I shoot a slug through it. In Illinois, you are not allowed to use a high powered rifle that I used to to use in other states. Will it jam or harm the gun??

I only want to hunt things that I will eat. This consists of deer, javelina(wild boar), turkey, goose, duck,rabbit and quail.
I want a multi-purpose shotgun that can cover the whole spectrum. I know for sure I want a 12 gauge Semi-auto (can’t stand a pump action) if at all possible under $600.
From what I have read, ammo has a lot to do with it. I know I will want to use a slug for deer and javelina. But does it matter on the size of the pellets when hunting various other game? And since I plan on eating what I kill, should I use lead-free ammo?
Any other helpful information, by all means let me know, whether it is general hunting tips or specific tips for certain game.
