How is it that employers can legally discriminate against convicted felons even if they have paid their debt to society?

The most reliable predictor of future behavior is past behavior. When an employer hires someone they are investing in that person and want a reliable employee. Employers know that often convicted felons have problems other than the fact that they committed a crime. These problems can lead someone to offend. Some examples are poor decision making skills, drug and alcohol abuse, impulsiveness, and anger control issues. What guarantee does the convicted felon have that they have changed? Employers do not want to deal with these problems at the workplace.

Not enough specifics are known about the "vacating" of the sentence in order to answer. The laws against convicted felons possessing firearms are VERY strict and unforgiving. The best thing for you to do would be to ask the attorney (or the court) that managed to get your sentence "vacated," where you legally stand on this question.
