Some slugs are basically evolved snails. They ditched the shells over time because the shells didn't really protect them from anything and require a lot of energy and nutrients to grow and carry around. In some niches, the snails with the smaller shells would prevail because of those disadvantages.
Of course, there are also plenty of examples of shell-less land gastropods that don't have any links with snails. It's another one of those discussions that ends up polarizing people on evolutionary theory.
