>(most security distributors will only sell to licensed dealers).

That may be true in the rest of the known universe, but here on this spot on
planet earth things are a bit different.
As a practical matter a distributor located in the US has no legal right to
refuse to sell most items. Some do place signs that say "Wholesale Only",
but that is for show. A distributor can charge a different price to a
certain type of customer if he choses, but mention the word lawyer and the
deal gets done.
ADI, SGI, Tri-Ed sell to unlicensed dealers, sound contractors, school
districts, grocery chains, and nearly anyone in Mexico. The list really goes
on forever. If you have the cash, the rest doesn't matter. They generally
don't want business off the streeet because they don't want to have to spend
resources supporting it. Most times they have enough trouble just answering
the phone before 40 rings and getting parts orders straight. And returns? It
maybe a decade or two before the parts come back from repair.
