"However, what if John Smith was once a member of an organization, had to quit, but happened to attend a game that came up short an official? He volunteers to help out, then is assaulted by an irate player. Would he be covered? By this wording, he wouldn't be."
**Even if that distinction was made he would still be covered under the garden variety assault and battery laws on the books that apply to John Q. Public. The laws are in place to prosecute and the offended official could still sue the aggressor in a civil suit to recover damages.
That same type of law was proposed here in Idaho but the legislature decided that the existing laws for assault were good enough.
