This is my home defense rifle....

It is a very purpose built machine tailored to my house and occupants.
The whole goal of this rifle was to have the most effective tool that I and Mrs. could use, all while doing the most to cut down on concussion and noise.
Paired with my handloads for this, its DRAMATICALLY more pleasant than firing factory hornady ammo. I haven't bought a can yet and don't plan to for the next few years or so. So do not tell me to get a can, I know that would be best.
Question is, to make this the most pleasant to shoot in indoors, would you leave the A2 flash hider on? Or do you take it off?
In my experience, a 308 with a break is much more unpleasant to shoot than one without, speaking of concussion of course. And on such a starved charge of 1680 and a 16 inch barrel, I don't believe flash to be a big deal. Its all about concussion here.
I have fired it indoors once so far for the sake of my handloads. But didn't mess with the muzzle device at all. Now I'm curious and want to hear your thoughts.
Also noteworthy. 300 AAC penetration test. http://imgur.com/3tClK4a
