I have one on my Brown Bess. None on my other flintlocks. In your case the issue is one of range courtesy and safety. Never step up to shoot if someone is directly to your right. Unfortunately if someone steps up just as you are about to shoot your concentration can be broken while you remind him you are shooting a flint. Some ranges require a shield be stapled to a post for protection. It is a flintlock 'thing' and you must be aware at all times. It is your responsibility.
The flash guards work OK but can be a pain for priming and cleaning.
