[LE] Need a script that makes my follower unequip a specific weapon

[joeliolioliolio]

I'm working on a follower that uses conjuration, including bound bows. After searching for months on and off I can't find a way to get my follower to use the bound bow spell, but he can use the bound bow as an item. so I figured since I can equip him a bound bow as an item, It should be possible to make a script that simply makes him unequip it when out of combat. It is just so irritating seeing him with a bound bow on his back without it despairing like the spell. He also sometimes will keep his bound arrows on his back sometimes even when using another weapon which is annoying. So TLDR: Can I have him keep the bound bow unequipped until he is in combat?

Not exactly related to your question, but might help resolve part of it anyway. I'm assuming you have a custom follower quest with an accompanying alias. You could put a combat override package on it for enter combat to cast the bound bow spell. That would then give them an appropriate bound bow instead of a forced one which may be the whole problem.
