SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Walt Workman hasachieved an eclectic mix of life experiences duringhis first 46 years on Earth. Workman, who is a lifelongresident of Alamo City, is employed by NorthEast Independent School District, where he has beena coach and physical education teacher at JacksonMiddle School since 1985, and the head coach theresince 2002.Workman came by his athletic calling atan early age as a football, basketball and trackparticipant at Chester Nimitz Middle School andon numerous baseball teams during the summermonths. Subsequently, Workman participated inbasketball and baseball at Robert E. Lee HighSchool, where he graduated in 1978.Outdoor activities such as fishing andhunting were commonalities for Texas youth andWorkman did his share of both of them. A stintto the Great State of Iowa for undergraduatecollege work and more hardball time for theUniversity of Dubuque Spartans roundedout Workman’s undergraduate experiencequite nicely, and he graduated with a B.S. inbiology and general science in 1983. WhenWorkman returned to the Lone Star Statefor good in 1983, he decided to work on histeaching certificate at the University of Texas-San Antonio and then enter the ranks of publicschool educators.Like most Texans who have a flair for theoutdoors and an equal affinity for self-defense,Workman was eager to obtain his concealedcarry handgun license. But with then GovernorAnn Richard’s refusal to honor Texan’s right tocarry, Workman, like a host of others from theLone Star State, had to wait till George W. Bushtook the Governor’s race from Richards in the1994 state election. One of Bush’s first officialacts as Texas governor was to institute a programleading up to concealed carry.“I’ve been an outdoorsman all my life,fishing and hunting, but I got really into handgunshooting around 1984,” said Workman, whosewife, Shari, is also an educator in the NEISD, asa science teacher at Churchill High School. “Asfar as the need to carry a concealed handgun, Ifeel that you have the right to protect yourself atany time against essentially man or beast. I don’treally like the idea of somebody else determiningmy outcome on something that could be anendangerment to me or my family.”The Workman’s also have a daughter,Mindy, 6, whom the couple adopted in 2001from Hangzou, China, shortly after Mindy’sfirst birthday. And the family also has a needfor protection on the road, as they travel eachsummer and during most extended schoolvacations to their second home in Woodman,Wisconsin. It is there on their 73-acre farmthat Workman gets to shoot his weapons to hisheart’s content and fish in the clear waters ofadjacent Big Green River.“When you’re going about your normaldaily business, doing your job, just enjoyinglife, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, youhave a right to protect yourself,” Workman said.“Other people don’t have the right to determinean outcome that is dangerous or harmful to youand your family. And that’s why I legally carrya firearm.”Continued on page 8Volume 4 - May/June 2007www.usconcealedcarry.comConcealed Carry Magazine
