Several years ago we got a family of gray squirrels in the attic. I opened the door to check on the source of the noise ... and one of them darted past me and into the computer room (being used at the time as my wife's home office). Fortunately, my wife was out that day. I closed the door to the room and opened the windows. Then, I put on a pair of heavy leather welder's gauntlet gloves.
If I'd caught him, he'd have been a goner. As it is, after about 20 minutes of chasing he found a window, paused on the ledge for a moment to gloat, and then jumped out.
Still, a 12 gauge is probably too much gun for a squirrel.
