There really isn't a definitive ruling on this anywhere within the rules or the FAQ.

However the [FAQ](http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/all_images/GF9/Firefly/Rulebooks/FAQ/Firefly_FAQ_v3.pdf) does state

> The only time you may not switch Gear is during a Work Action. Other than that, you may change who is carrying what Gear freely.

Based on this I would rule that you are absolutely entitled to strip any Gear off a character before they are taken from your ship.
