Punt blocked, can I punt again?

There's nothing against this in any of the major codes. I even saw video about a year ago where a place kick got blocked, came back to the holder, the kicker had backed up to "reload", and the kicking team almost had time to get off another place kick!

There was a time in Fed rules where possession by a player of team K killed the ball; they got rid of that about 15 yrs. ago. Also, none of the major codes now allow a 2nd forward pass during a down, even if the 1st pass was blocked.
