No you couldn't be charged for having a handgun with a 17 round magazine.

The bill specifically defines "handgun" in this manner:

"The term ‘handgun’ includes any magazine for use in a handgun and any ammunition loaded into the handgun or its magazine."

This means that your 17 round magazine loaded with your preferred hollow point ammo will be legal for you to carry as a non resident in states that have a 10 round magazine limit and/or do not allow the use of hollow point ammunition.

The law is designed to remove many of those pitfalls.

You'll still need to check to see what areas are specifically prohibited for concealed carry in the state but there will be no need to modify what you choose to carry or the ammunition you choose to carry in it.
