if you are punting out of your own endzone, and the punt hits a member of the receiving team who is not in the endzone, and the ball travels back through and out of the endzone, what is the call?

It's a safety, because a block does not provide impetus. It doesn't matter if the blocker from the receiving team is in or out of the endzone. The block only changes the direction of the ball, but the impetus was caused by the kicking team, therefore it's a safety for the receiving team, they get 2 pts. and they will receive the free kick.

Hmmm.... Your question is kinda confusing. If the ball the ball hits the receiving team and goes through their endzone than it is a safety. If it hits the receiving team and goes through the punting teams endzone then it's touchback and the punting team gets the ball at their 20 yardline.

Touchback. As the receiving team touched it and it went out of their offensive endzone, it's a touchback and the kicking team gets the ball at their own 20.

good question. I am pretty sure that it would be a touchback considering that the person from the recieving team was in the field and not the endzone.

Touchback. The other team gets the ball on the 20 yard line.

I like to bring my facemask into their arm, or the hand thats covering the ball. All they have to do is fell that once...
