In short, no. This may be different depending on where you are, I'm basing this on the RCMP's Auxiliary Constable program. With the RCMP, you do have peace officer powers, but only when under supervision from a regular member. You get to drive squad cars in a non-operational status, and you do not carry a firearm.
This is a question which needs to be directed to the TSA. As you are traveling to California, if you are not a California resident, you'd be best advised also to contact the California Department of Justice regarding your abilities to carry a concealed firearm there. They may not recognized your position as an out-of-state police officer as justification to carry a concealed firearm, or may require you to obtain a non-resident permit to carry a concealed firearm in the state. Before you depart, you can contact the local TSA representative either by going to the airport in person, or by phone. I would advise you to do this well in advance of your flight, as it is not likely to be a particular fast process.
Police detectives, yes. Private detectives, it depends. Some states allow it. Some private detectives don't want it. Concealed carry permits are available in most states if you can have a clean background check and can demonstrate some level of proficiency with a firearm.

Unfortunately, Massachusetts does not recognize any out of state firearms licenses. However, you can apply for a non-resident License to Carry Firearms in Massachusetts. Attorney Jesse C. Cohen massguns.com.
You don't have to "register" your ownership of a firearm anywhere in the US. However, in order to carry it,some states require you to apply for a PERMIT to do so.I believe that Vermont is one of the states that does not require you to do so.Actually, there are a couple of states that require state registration, but it is true that there is no national registration for non class 3 items.
It depends on where you are. First, just for reference, police officers ARE civilians, at least in the U.S. On to your question: referring to the U.S. at least, a police officer sort of has more rights. Federal law HR218 allows full time or retired police officers to carry in any state in the U.S. Non-police officers that have gun carry permits can only carry in states that allow it. For instance, the state of TN recognizes permits from any state, so anyone in the U.S. that has a valid permit can carry a gun while in TN. However, some states, New Jersey for instance, doesn't recognize permits from any state, so a non-police officer cannot carry while in New Jersey.
As long as the misdemeanor is non violent, non drug related, and non sexual or threatening then it will not affect you right to own a firearm.
