If you do not attempt to assault, rape, or murder me, you won't be harmed by my gun.
Just as in your heroin example, you make the choice not to engage in the risk-taking behavior. Actually, it goes beyond that. You
are ultimately harmed by the guy doing heroin. It's your money that's going to send him to rehab, and your stuff that he's stealing (even if indirectly by an increase in your taxes to pay for the police to deal with the crime related to his drug use).
