Yes! Most laws specify that if the BG has "broken off the attack" you're legally obliged not to pursue. You have a legal obligation to avoid confrontation, escalation of the incident. You may "give chase" to apprehend, but you're asking for legal problems. If the BG turns and fires on you because you're giving chase, you may be construed as the "aggressor" and the incident viewed as an escalation of the situation.
Never seen an 870 jam, fail, or otherwise show cause to transition to a side arm. Might use a side arm in the house in close quarters.
