How can I remove an item equipped by a player?

I have a script inside a part intended to remove an item from a player on a certain team, and give them a force field. However, if the player is holding the gun then the item cannot be removed from their inventory. How can I fix this?

local debounce = false

function onTouched(hit) 
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) ~= nil then 
		if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent).TeamColor == script.Parent.BrickColor then
			local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
			if debounce == false then
				debounce = true
			local c = Instance.new("ForceField")
			c.Parent = hit.Parent
			if Player.Backpack.Gun == Player.Backpack.Gun then
				Player.Backpack.Gun:Remove()
				print("Gun Removed From BackPack")
					wait(.1)
			debounce = false
			else if Player.Character.Gun == Player.Character.Gun then
				Player.Character.Gun:Remove()
				print("Gun Unequiped")
			wait(.1)
			debounce = false
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end 
end 

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

The same tool can not be equipped and in the Players inventory at the same time. When a player equips a tool it is moved into their Character.

We can create a function to empty out both.

function removeTool(name,place)
for _,v in pairs(place:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Tool") or v:IsA("HopperBin") and v.Name == name then
v:Destroy()
end
end
end

local debounce = true

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and debounce then
debounce = false
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
f = Instance.new("Forcefield",hit.Parent)
removeTool("Gun",plr.Backpack)
removeTool("Gun",hit.Parent)
end
debounce = true
end)
