How about I carry a phone so I can call 911 instead?

Narcan works instantly.

911 calls get there as fast as they can, but it can take several minutes , which can mean the difference between life and death.

This is a great LPT if you know someone who uses opiates. The problem is many people don't know if someone is a user until they OD.

Absolutely this. Most folks don't recognize addiction in people they know and are shocked when someone passes from OD. "They're a stranger and can die" is selfish AF.

Narcan then 911 is the procedure to save lives. If you carry a gun then you should carry Narcan too.
