Heller said its unconstitutional to not have immediate access to ur gun (locked in a safe).
The office of public defender confirmed my post.

...struck down the portion of the Act that requires all firearms
including rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled
or bound by a trigger lock".
I don't think what the Heller decision said included what you said about being locked in a safe. Specifically, SCOTUS said:
... the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be
disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible
for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense
and is hence unconstitutional.
By writing the law to require a lock box, safe or trigger lock provides alternatives to the DC law that was struck down.
In a nutshell, Heller said it's unconstitutional to render legal firearms nonfunctional (unloaded, disassembled or trigger-locked). They never said it was unconstitutional to require firearms to be safely stored.
The difference is the Heller decision recognized the DC law did not include a self-defense exception, whereas with other safe storage options, there is an implied exception for self-defense -- i.e. you can't use a firearm for SD unless you remove it from a safe or lock box.
