They’re built to survive a fight with another bear, so you’d need at least a little luck along with that shotgun. I can imagine that all you’d do is make it angry.
Unless you’re in their den or between the mom and her cubs, black bears will run if you act aggressive. Grizzlies will chase you and are faster unless you have wheels (and even then you better have a head start).
