I understand that I have to notify the CLEO in my city (aka the boston PD), and that they have no say in whether I get it or not. However, could applying for it cause any possible backlash such as suddenly being declared unsuitable?

The unsuitability genie. Thats one to remember.
Actually if anything having a C&R will show your Chief you're serious about firearms and not just some average Joe applying for a gun license. I look at it as more of a credential. If anything it would make it seem like you're a target shooter and don't need an actual License to Carry ALP, but I doubt it.
Boston won't be impressed!!
I don't think it will hurt you either (other than your wallet).

Agreed. Note that a C&R is a requirement for obtaining an MG license.
True, but can you just see someone trying that in BOSTON!!
