Straight definition = part of flight
Wordplay:
disturbance = stir
disturbance detains the letter "a"= st+a+ir = STAIR (part of flight)

"Oh, Dexter!" Dotty pleaded urgently (8)
Straight definition = pleaded urgently
Wordplay :
The poser is telling us that the letters in "oh dexter" are "dotty" or "daft."
Anagram of "oh dexter" = EXHORTED

Okay, I'll leave the rest for others for awhile.
Give cry of pain after defeat (6)
Straight definition = give
Wordplay:
cry of pain = ow
defeat = best (if you best someone you defeat them)
best + ow = BESTOW (give)

"Recited" indicates that we are looking for a word that sounds like a synonym for both gun and law
CANON - Canon is a law, and sounds like cannon = a gun
